Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Snapper

    Pat the snapper fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Curry Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Curry Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, yellow curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 3

    Add Cilantro

    Once the sauce is simmering, add the fresh cilantro and stir until evenly distributed.

Cooking the Snapper

  1. 4

    Cook the Snapper

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, carefully place the seasoned snapper fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Once the snapper is cooked, pour the prepared curry sauce over the fish in the skillet. Allow it to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish
