Greenlandic Inspired Pollock Soup

Protein: Seafood, Pollock

Origin: Greenland, European

Method: Stovetop

This pollock soup was inspired by a spicy fish soup recipe that was posted by Royal Greenland. We love the simplicity of this dish, while still providing just enough flavor with the addition of a little red curry. The addition of fresh vegetables and herbs from our garden made this recipe a keeper.

Collect and prep your ingredients

This pollock soup is super easy to make and comes together quickly. It makes for a great weekend lunch or quick dinner. Serve it as a meal or as a great soup appetizer along with some Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi. To complete the dish you will need some onion, red potatoes, carrots, asparagus, fresh dill, red curry powder, and a can of coconut milk.

Peel and dice the carrots, and dice the onion and potatoes. Chop the asparagus into bite sized portions.

Season the pollock filets with salt and pepper on both sides then set aside.

Cooking the Pollock Soup

Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the cooking pot and heat over medium heat. Stir in the onion, carrots, and asparagus and sauté until softened. This typically takes about 5 minutes.

After about 5 minutes stir in the red curry powder. Stir to combine well and cook for about 1 minute.

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for amount 1 minute per side to brown then remove from the heat and cube the fish.

Try not to fully cook the fish or it will be too flaky to cube.

Add in the can of coconut milk to the pan with the veggies. Fill the empty can with water and add that to the pot.

Bring the soup pot to a boil and add the diced potato. Reduce to a simmer, then cook for 5 minutes.

Add the fish to the pot along with the salt and lime juice. Simmer the soup for 5 more minutes, to help the flavors come together and to finish cooking the fish.

Salt to taste then serve into bowls and top with fresh dill.
