Description

This Thai Fish Curry is a fragrant and flavorful dish featuring tender white fish simmered in a creamy coconut curry sauce with vibrant vegetables, fresh cilantro, and a splash of lime juice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lb white fish
  • 3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ medium onion, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 15 ounce can coconut milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 4 cups chopped veggies (green beans, carrots, and red bell peppers)
  • Minced cilantro, to serve
  • Lime juice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Cut the fish into pieces about 2 inches wide. Pat dry with a paper towel, then rub 1 tablespoon of the curry paste over the pieces.
  2. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste, then add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix well.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables and bring the pot to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the fish pieces, cover the pot, and cook for 5 minutes or until the fish is no longer opaque. For thicker pieces, flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with minced cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

  • Use any firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less curry paste.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice to soak up the delicious curry sauce.
  • For a creamier curry, add an extra splash of coconut milk.
