Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and start cooking the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan. While the fish is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining curry ingredients

  • Thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
  • Juice half the lime; cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Juice 1 lime; cut the remaining lime into wedges.]
  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

3

Cook the curry; finish the fish

In the same pan used for the fish, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms and half the curry paste, plus more if desired (for a spicier curry). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cabbage, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add the fish and cook until the flesh is flaky and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and basil, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish, vegetables, and sauce to individual bowls and serve with the lime wedges.
