We are catching enough fish at present to eat it every second day and fill a freezer with the excess. I am constantly searching for recipes to keep our meals interesting and this was a great one.I used an extra teaspoon of curry paste and fish sauce rather than soy. I had to use light coconut cream, so I used half a can (will freeze the rest) and diluted that with water. I calculate this gave us just over 11g of fat in total in each serve. I could eat this again tomorrow night and am posting it to my repeatable fish recipe cookbook so that if I don't (eat it again tomorrow) I can eat it soon. We don't get tilapia in Australia, so I used Charley Court Cod, so named I've heard, because the fish and the former premier of this state both have big mouths.

O...M...G...! I love the flavors of Thai food, and this one had it all! One tip: grate a bit of lime peel into the rice just before serving--it leaves the rice oh-so frangrant, pretty and goes so well with the meal! I served this exactly like the recipe and it was perfect. I also served chicken satay. (the fish was better) The next day, I chopped the leftover satay and served it over the rice with the sauce and it became a different meal completely! This one is going into the PERMANENT file. :-) Thanks!

I discovered this recipe on Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes http://www.skinnytaste.com/search/label/Fish%20Recipes she made 2 slight changes... subbing 2 tsp of fish sauce for the salt and using 4 cloves of garlic instead of 2. Gina also gives the option to use basil instead of cilantro and that's how I prefer it. It's absolutely delicious!! I serve it over brown jasmine rice. Thanks for posting!!

Added a handful of fresh mushrooms to the sauce. SO YUMMY! Next time I'll do 1/2 coconut milk and 1/2 water, to cut down on high fat. I'll also thicken with cornstarch at the end. I'm TRYING to like fish - and with a lot of lime (KEY INGREDIENT) this is really tasty. Would be great with basil instead of cilantro, omit the lime and chicken instead of fish. :) Many options with this recipe. THANKS!
