Coconut Lime Fish Curry with Jasmine Rice 🥥🐟

A creamy, tangy, and aromatic curry that’s quick to prepare and packed with flavor. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or when you want to bring a taste of the tropics to your table.


INGREDIENTES:

For the Fish Curry:

  • 🐟 1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper), cut into chunks
  • 🥥 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 🌶️ 2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste for spiciness)
  • 🦐 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, but adds depth of flavor)
  • 🍋 Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 💧 1 cup water or vegetable broth (to adjust consistency)
  • 🌿 1 cup fresh spinach or bok choy (optional, for added greens)
  • 🫑 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional, for color and texture)

For Serving:

  • 🍚 Cooked jasmine rice (about 2 cups)
  • 🌿 Fresh cilantro or Thai basil leaves (for garnish)
  • 🥜 Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for crunch)

INSTRUCCIONES:

1. Prepare the Base:

  1. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes to release its fragrance.
  2. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste. Add 1 cup of water or vegetable broth to adjust the consistency of the curry.

2. Simmer the Curry:

  1. Stir in the fish sauce (if using) and the lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add the lime zest and any optional ingredients like red bell pepper slices or spinach/bok choy. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

3. Cook the Fish:

  1. Gently place the fish chunks into the simmering curry. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Avoid stirring too much to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

4. Final Touches:

  1. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, fish sauce, or even a pinch of sugar if desired.
  2. Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil leaves and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for extra flair.

5. Serve:

Serve the curry hot over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Add a wedge of lime on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.


CONSEJOS Y VARIACIONES:

  • Add more veggies: Include zucchini, carrots, or snap peas for a heartier curry.
  • Spice level: Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the heat, or add fresh chili slices for extra kick.
  • Protein swap: Replace fish with shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a different twist.
  • Garnish ideas: Top with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and texture.
