Method:

Place fish in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Blend together garlic, ground cinnamon, dried thyme, paprika, salt and pepper, sprinkle over fish. Cover fish loosely with clingwrap and marinate in a cool place for a few hours. Make sauce by melting butter in a large saucepan, sauté onion and garlic until soft, stirring frequently. Place coconut milk and spinach in a separate saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook gently for a few minutes until spinach has wilted and coconut milk reduced a little, set mixture aside to cool. Mash spinach mixture, add to onion with prawns and chopped red chilli. Stir well and simmer gently for a few minutes, set aside while cooking the fish. Cut marinated fish steaks into strips or squares, dip in seasoned flour. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry fish in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on kitchen paper. Arrange fish on warmed individual side plates. Gently reheat sauce and spoon over fish. Serve immediately with crusty rolls.
