How to Make Broiled Tilapia With Thai Coconut Curry Sauce

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and 1/2 cup chopped onion.
  6. Cook for 1 minute, until slightly softened.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  8. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk.
  10. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  12. While the sauce simmers, brush two 4-ounce tilapia fillets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  13. Place the tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with cooking spray.
  14. Broil for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  15. Serve the broiled tilapia immediately over a bed of cooked rice, topped with the delicious Thai coconut curry sauce and a lime wedge for extra brightness.
