Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices.

Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine; bring to a simmer.

Season with salt and black pepper; adjust to taste.

Add cod fillets to the skillet, spooning sauce over them.

Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

In the last 2 minutes, add green peas, bell pepper, and carrots to the sauce.

Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
