Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 225 degrees.
- Step 2
Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the fish and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Step 3
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. Add the spring onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger and turmeric and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add the carrot, snow peas and green peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Step 4
Add the coconut milk and 1 tablespoon curry paste to the skillet, bring to a simmer over medium, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is reduced by about one-third, about 6 minutes. Whisk in more curry paste according to taste, if desired. Stir in the cooked vegetables and heat until warmed, about 1 minute.
- Step 5
Divide the fish among shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce and vegetables over the fish, garnish with cilantro and serve.

It's good. I used cod instead of grouper, which wasn't available in my store. But overall, the recipe needs some acid - I added lime juice at the end, which helped brighten it up. I served over rice.
I found the sauce to be a bit bland, so I added chili garlic paste, fish sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice to brighten it up. Also added julienned sweet red pepper. No grouper available here so I used cod and it worked fine.
Great recipe as-is but on the second go-around, I doubled the curry paste and added juice from one lime and had better results. Also works well with salmon.
Like others I used 2 x chile paste. Also used chili crisp. I recommend using non-stick skillet. I didn’t and needed more oil. I cooked the drum. We don’t even like coconut milk much ….but this was good. Served over rice. Flavors were outstanding.
Changes: 2.5 tbsp curry. 1/2 tsp fish sauce. 1/2 lime squeezed at end. Also: chopped cherry tomatoes are a very nice addition in the curry and coconut milk step.
Agree with other comments about this needing slice, but was a great dinner on the first try. Used halibut which was great. Next time will add fresh chili pepper minced with the ginger. Lime juice at the end is very welcome.
