Servings: persons

1 tablespoon coriander seed, roasted and ground (heaping)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, quartered and thinly sliced (about 8 ounces)
6 ounces pineapple, fresh, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 generous cup)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 lb fish fillet, firm-fleshed, white (such as haddock, halibut, sea bass or sole)
2 green chilies, fresh (such as serrano or Thai, thinly sliced into rings on the diagonal)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped fresh (heaping)

1
Place the ground coriander, salt, turmeric and cayenne in a small mixing bowl.
2
Use a fork to stir in 1/2 cup water to form a thin paste.
3
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to turn pale caramel at the edges, about 4 minutes.
5
Add the spice paste and cook, stirring, until the oil pools on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
6
Add the pineapple and cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost dried up, about 2 minutes.
7
Add about 3/4 cup water and the sugar; bring to a boil.
8
Simmer until the pineapple is tender and the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 6 minutes.
9
Taste and adjust for salt and sugar.
10
Add the fish and chile slices; reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning the fish once (take care not to break the pieces), 3 to 4 minutes, adding a little water if necessary, until fish is just cooked through.
