Halibut in Red Curry Coconut Milk image

I love curry, halibut and coconut milk. Why not marry all these flavors together? I did not grow up eating this kind of food so it is a stretch for me to even attempt to do it the justice that Thai food deserves. But this is a winner!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb halibut, skinned and cut into 2" chunks
6 green onions, sliced thin (some of the green tops too)
1 c chicken broth
13 1/2 oz coconut milk, unsweetened
3 Tbsp red curry paste (more if you like it really spicy)
2 Tbsp lime juice
6 c fresh spinach or a mix of spinach, kale and collards
1 large potato, baked (skin on) and sliced 1/2" thick circles
1 c brown rice, cooked
GARNISH:
1/4 c cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp chili oil (wolfgang puck's recipe)

Steps:

  • 1. This is what you will need.
  • 2. Add onions to a large/deep skillet and saute lightly in oil. I keep a bottle of Wolfgang Pucks Chili Oil on hand at all times. I use it for many things when I want to kick up the taste
  • 3. Add broth, coconut milk red curry and lime juice. Cook over med-high heat until bubbly and thoroughly incorporated.
  • 4. Add halibut pieces, cover with a lid and saute gently over medium heat (about 6-8 minutes or until fish is done).
  • 5. Remove fish to a serving dish/platter, add the spinach to the sauce and saute only until it is almost wilted.
  • 6. Add the cooked, sliced potatoes to the sauce and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 7 minutes to heat the potatoes. Pour sauce over fish and serve over brown rice. Garnish the whole affair with chopped cilantro.
  • 7. **In the interest of time, I used Seeds of Change already cooked brown rice (microwaveable). You can save yourself some serious change and make rice from scratch. That bag cost $6 compare that to unprepared rice! I won't do that again. White rice is also just as good--I just like the nutty flavor of brown.
