Authentic Thai Fish Curry Recipe - Quick and Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bell peppers and snap peas, sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

    Avoid overcooking to maintain crunch.
  2. Add Curry Paste

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Make sure to coat the vegetables well.
  3. Incorporate Broth and Coconut Milk

    Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

    Adjust heat to prevent boiling.
  4. Add Fish

    Gently add the fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily.

    Do not stir aggressively to keep the fish intact.
  5. Finish with Lime and Fish Sauce

    Stir in fish sauce and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Taste before serving to balance flavors.
  6. Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

    Pair with jasmine rice for a complete meal.
