INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine the poppy seeds and milk in a small bowl and set aside for
30 minutes.
2. In a small dry skillet, toast the coconut for a few minutes until
golden. Set aside.
3. Puree the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor. In a large
nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When hot, add the onion
puree and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, fennel
seeds, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, salt and broth. Simmer, partly
covered, 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the poppy seed-milk
mixture and coconut.
4. Put the rockfish into the pan, spooning some of the sauce over each
piece. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes
with a fork.
5. Sprinkle with lime juice and serve.
