Updated on Jan 25, 2014

I love curry, halibut and coconut milk. Why not marry all these flavors together? I did not grow up eating this kind of food so it is a stretch for me to even attempt to do it the justice that Thai food deserves. But this is a winner!

  • 6 - green onions, sliced thin (some of the green tops too)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 13 1/2 ounces coconut milk, unsweetened
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste (more if you like it really spicy)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 6 cups fresh spinach or a mix of spinach, kale and collards
  • 1 large potato, baked (skin on) and sliced 1/2" thick circles
  • 1 cup brown rice, cooked
  • GARNISH:
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • - salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil (wolfgang puck's recipe)

How To Make halibut in red curry coconut milk

  • Step 1
    This is what you will need.
  • Step 2
    Add onions to a large/deep skillet and saute lightly in oil. I keep a bottle of Wolfgang Pucks Chili Oil on hand at all times. I use it for many things when I want to kick up the taste
  • Step 3
    Add broth, coconut milk red curry and lime juice. Cook over med-high heat until bubbly and thoroughly incorporated.
  • Step 4
    Add halibut pieces, cover with a lid and saute gently over medium heat (about 6-8 minutes or until fish is done).
  • Step 5
    Remove fish to a serving dish/platter, add the spinach to the sauce and saute only until it is almost wilted.
  • Step 6
    Add the cooked, sliced potatoes to the sauce and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 7 minutes to heat the potatoes. Pour sauce over fish and serve over brown rice. Garnish the whole affair with chopped cilantro.
  • Step 7
    **In the interest of time, I used Seeds of Change already cooked brown rice (microwaveable). You can save yourself some serious change and make rice from scratch. That bag cost $6 compare that to unprepared rice! I won't do that again. White rice is also just as good--I just like the nutty flavor of brown.
