reappropriating leftovers

eve11I get bento lunch/dinner boxes from Little Asia across the street from work. You get a sushi roll, miso soup, two deep fried shrimp balls, AND rice and an entree. I almost never eat the rice and entree at the same time. I got chicken curry last time and had lots of leftovers.
Most of the chicken curry is actually not chicken, but is just lots and lots and lots of onion, and some carrots. So tonight I had leftover curry onions and carrots, and some frozen mahi mahi. I took some almonds (1/4 cup?) and smashed them up with a mallet, added about 3oz falafel mix, 2 oz italian bread crumbs and mixed it together with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then coated the fish; I kind of had to be careful b/c the almonds didn't stick all that well but it was well enough. I greased the bottom of an 8x8 pan, spread the onions and carrots underneath, and put the 3 mahi mahi filets on top (little filets, maybe 4oz apiece). Baked at 400 for about 24 minutes. It turned out really good! Now I'm wondering what the sushi shop puts in its curry chicken recipe.
