Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Shred the green papaya and chop the fresh herbs.
Marinate the Rockfish
In a bowl, combine the tom yum paste, lime juice, and fish sauce. Add the rockfish fillets and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Rockfish
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated rockfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
Make the Tom Yum Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add coconut milk. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Combine with Papaya
Add the shredded green papaya to the skillet with the tom yum sauce and stir well, allowing it to wilt slightly for about 2 minutes.
Serve the Dish
Place the cooked rockfish on a plate, spoon the tom yum sauce and papaya mixture over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro, Thai basil, and sliced red chili as desired.
