By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
I am always looking for new ways to prepare fish, since my entire childhood I thought that I hated it
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 (24-ounce) bag fresh spinach, rinsed and dried*
- 3 medium shallots, diced
- 2 heaping teaspoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 can lite coconut milk
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 4 {6 to 8-ounce} white fish fillets, thawed and skin removed (I used fresh halibut, but you can use Barramundi)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced thin on the bias
- 1 whole lime, juiced
- 3 stalks fresh lemongrass, optional
- Note: I don't have any problems wilting baby spinach, but I wilt it low and slow with olive oil. Using frozen spinach really doesn't work with this dish, as there is a LOT of water-- and the texture of wilted fresh spinach is hard to beat!
