Description

One-pan Thai Curry Fish is creamy, spicy, and tender in every bite. Try this easy recipe for a fast but impressive dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 125 ml sweet chili sauce
  • 4 tbsp fish sauce (or reduced-sodium soy sauce)
  • 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
  • Thinly sliced mushrooms, as much as you like
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 6 Cape Hake fillets (or any white fish)
  • Rice and veggies, to serve

Instructions

  1. Grab a medium pan and pour in 1 can of coconut milk.
  2. Warm it over medium heat.
  3. Add 125 mL sweet chili sauce, 4 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce), and 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste. Stir it all together.
  4. Toss in the thinly sliced mushrooms and 3 cloves of garlic.
  5. Let everything simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the flavors really mingle.
  6. Drop in the 6 Cape Hake fillets.
  7. Cover and steam them in the sauce for 3–5 minutes until the fish is tender and moist. Don’t overcook; you want them soft and flaky.
  8. Serve your curry fish over rice with some fresh veggies on the side.
  9. Spoon plenty of that creamy, sweet-spicy sauce over the top.
  10. Optional tweak: You can wrap each fillet in cucumber slices before steaming for an extra fancy touch, but honestly, it’s amazing even without it.

Tips:

  1. Make sure the curry simmers slowly; too high heat will separate the coconut milk.
  2. Taste before serving; adjust fish sauce or sweet chili sauce for saltiness/sweetness.
  3. You can use other white fish if Cape Hake isn’t available.
  4. Mushrooms are flexible; any kind works.
