Cod Curry with Lemongrass, Bok Choy, Coconut Milk and Lime

Cod with Curry Sauce and Bok Choy

A twist on classic Thai flavors

This is a great way to use up bok choy from the garden. For this recipe you will need a pan and cover that can go from the stovetop to the oven, and a sheet pan that’s been chilled in refrigerator. Adapted from the Cod with Coconut Lime and Lemongrass Curry Sauce recipe on the Epicurious website.
