White fish. It’s the perfect weeknight food to cook. It cooks up quickly, it’s insanely healthy and it absorbs the flavors of whatever is around it. In this case, a coconut curry sauce!
We were at the fish market yesterday and their tilapia looked so amazing. We bought a few fillets and I knew it was begging for a creamy curry sauce. Fish and curry sauce are such a good duo! So I found this great recipe with an easy sauce to make. While the fish was broiling away in the oven, I was able to pull the sauce together and cook the rice. It was a real multi-tasking success!
When I serve curry, I always put it with jasmine rice and/or naan. In this case, I went with the rice and it was perfect. The rice soaked up the sauce when I poured it on top and made it so creamy and delicious. Dinner was cooked and ready to eat in less than 30 minutes and we scarfed this one down! So so good!
Let me know what your favorite way to eat tilapia is. Here are all my fav’s! Happy cooking!
