THAI-STYLE TILAPIA WITH COCONUT-CURRY BROTH

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over moderate heat.
• Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3-5 minutes.
• Add the curry paste and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Season the tilapia with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Arrange the fish in the pan and gently shake the pan so the fish is coated with the sauce.
• Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Arrange a pile of steamed spinach in the bottom of 4 soup plates.
• Top with the fish fillets.
• Stir the cilantro, scallions and lime juice into the sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the sauce over the fish and serve with rice.

THAI-STYLE TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, combine the coconut milk, almonds, onion, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Process until smooth.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them skin-side up in the skillet. Pour the pureed sauce over the fish. Use a spatula to coat the fish evenly with the sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
• Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the puree is thickened and fish flakes easily with a fork.

• Add coconut milk. Stir. After 1 minute, add fish and remaining garlic and onions.
• Lower heat and cover for about 15 - 20 minutes.
