Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 shallots, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste*, or 2 teaspoons curry powder
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon, plus more for seasoning
4 (6-ounce) pieces halibut fillet, skin removed
Steamed spinach**
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cooked brown rice, for serving

Directions

*Available in the Asian section of most supermarkets

**Steam or microwave 5 cups of washed baby spinach for 2 minutes

In a large saute pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 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 halibut 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.

Love it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so wonderful and it really can be altered easily to your liking. I MUST recommend putting fresh diced tomatoes... on the top of your plated fish. If you do it once you will never eat it again without. Tastes like it was made for this recipe!!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe as directed, but added a bit more curry paste and some sriracha sauce to spice it up. I too thought... the sauce was a bit too watery after the 5 minutes were up, so I ended up reducing it for a while longer (like 8 more min) and it came out SO good. Read more

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a DELICIOUS, fresh-tasting and healthy dish. I sauteed some baby bok choy with little mushrooms instead of the... spinach, and added some diced spicy Thai chilies to the broth. The fish was melt-in-your mouth delicious, and the dish is beautiful. This is definitely going on regular rotation!Read more

Best fish curry!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Last night my boyfriend and I made this recipe and it was amazing! However, I like my curry on a spicy side, so we did add a... bit of a red curry in the mix and a 1/2 tea spoon of chushed red pepers. The halibut was so moist , that it melted in our mouths, the cook time of 7 min was perfect! Thanks a lot, it will be one of my favs!!!!!Read more
