Broiled Tilapia With Thai Coconut- Curry Sauce image

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! :) )

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce was flavorful and the fish was moist and flaky.

I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great! The sauce was still creamy and flavorful, but without the coconut flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some grilled tilapia that I flaked and used in the sauce. It turned out really well.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish turned out great. The sauce was a little bland for my taste, so I added some red pepper flakes and lime juice. It was perfect!

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of fish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The tilapia was mild and flaky, and the curry sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this dish a few times and it's always a hit. The flavors of the curry sauce are incredible, and the fish cooks perfectly under the broiler. I like to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables.

So easy to follow, and the fish came out moist and flavorful. The sauce was creamy and light, with a touch of sweetness from the coconut milk. I served it with steamed broccoli and brown rice.

This tilapia and sauce were so good, I made it again a week later! I served it over jasmine rice and topped with chopped cashews, red onion, and cilantro. Both times it was a crowd pleaser.
