BROILED TILAPIA WITH THAI COCONUT- CURRY SAUCE
This dish is loaded with flavor and makes a lovely, colorful presentation. You'll want to serve with plenty of rice to absorb the wonderful sauce. (Noted added 11/05/07: I like to credit original recipe sources when known, but wasn't sure about this one when I submitted the recipe. Fortunately, a reviewer pointed out that the recipe came from Cooking Light, so I searched their site--indeed, it was originally published in their September 2002 issue. Thanks to the reviewer for bringing this to my attention, and thanks to Cooking Light for developing the recipe! :) )

- Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to the fish. Be sure to use them generously.
- Don't overcook the fish. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it is important to not overcook it. Cook it for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
