Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 325°F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, then place the fish on top. Drizzle oil over the fish and season both sides with salt. Roast in the oven until the flesh easily flakes when pressed with a spoon, which should take around 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish pieces.
- 2In a high-sided skillet or wide saucepan, mix together the chile, coconut milk, honey, mustard, and turmeric. Season with salt generously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally as you cook until the sauce reduces by one-third and coats the back of a spoon thickly, which should take about 12 to 15 minutes. Introduce the green beans into the pan and cook them until they are tender, approximately 3 minutes. Once done, take the pan off the heat and stir in tomatoes and lime juice. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary before serving.
