Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Thinly slice the pepper. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add both to the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Season with sea salt.
Dissolve the creamed coconut in a jug with 250ml hot water (125ml for 1 person). Season the fish with a pinch of sea salt. Halve the lime.
Add the curry paste and coconut to the pan. Stir and cook for 1 min, then place the fish on top. Cover with a lid and steam for 5-8 mins, until the fish is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork, and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked, then drain.
Make the almond topping; roughly chop the coriander. Place in a small bowl and mix with the almonds, juice from half the lime, 1/2 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the fish (to taste).
Serve the noodles in bowls and spoon over the broth. Place the fish on top and garnish with the almond topping.
