I didn't have the highest expectations for this recipe, but was in the mood for something different than I normally cook. This recipe wowed me - it was easy to make, but had complex, delicious flavors. I would strongly recommend trying it!
Excellent!

I added red pepper with the shallot - and this dish was amazing. You never know how much flavor a "curry" dish will have, but this was phenomenal. Would be SO elegant for a dinner party, and it's easy!
Pretty Good

I used a whole can of coconut milk, as mentioned by others. I felt it tasted pretty bland, I think it was my curry powder, so I added so red chili sauce, as well as some garam masala, which helped the flavor alot. I cooked the sauce much longer about 20 minutes until it was very thick. I served with the spinach and rice. My boyfriend thought it was really good, I thought it was pretty good, I would like to try and get more flavor from the sauce still.
yummy!

Loved the recipe for the sauce. The only thing is, I'm more of a thick sauce kind of gal so I thickened the sauce and pan sauteed the halibut seperately. I also added a teaspoon of ground ginger when I added the curry. Served with steamed white rice (sauced of course with extra curry sauce!) and wine...let's just say the plates were wiped clean before they got back to the sink!
Delicious

I've made this dish several times using both halibut and tilapia. Both are good, although we prefer the halibut. What a great, quick and delicious dish. Definitely a once a weeker.

This recipe is great! I love Thai food anyway, but if you're not particularly fond of Thai cuisine, don't get scared by the red curry paste. Unless you REALLY don't like anything spicy at ALL -- it isn't too much. The only thing I did differently was to thicken the broth a bit with corn flour and additional chicken broth. Also, any type of "thick, white fish" works -- I used Cod because that was available at the market. Try this recipe -- you won't be sorry!
So easy, healthy & tasty!

I'm sure the recipe is awesome as is but I made a few adjustments which worked out great. I used tilapia instead of halibut due to the cost difference. I also stirred in some corn starch into some of the left over canned chicken broth which I then added to the sauce in order to thicken it up to my desired consistancy.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this meal! It was easy to make yet tasted very gourmet. I stuck closely to the recipe with only a few minor adjustments: I used yellow curry powder and red pepper flakes, and added 1 clove garlic. I also used Orange Roughy instead of Halibut since that is what I had on hand. I loved the lime juice added at the end with the cilantro. Great way to round out the flavor!

I served this meal to my husband and mother. I cut back by 1/2 tsp on the curry paste and only used 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves. I did this after reading the reviews. I would not do this again. Even though my husband and mother throught it was GREAT. I think it needed more spice. Next time I will follow the recipe to the letter. I also added some shrimp during the last two minutes of cooking. I will definitely make this meal again. I will also use it for company.
This is my favorite fish recipe of all time.

Saw this today and made it tonight. It obviously works well with all kinds of fish from the reviews. I used haddock since I couldn't find halibut. It turned out wonderfully. I would like a hint more coconut in the broth. I topped the dish off with some scallions and a little basil. WOW! WOW! WOW!

I doubled the amount of red curry paste, used a full can of full fat coconut milk, and added 2 tsp.of sugar to the broth. We loved this recipe and will make it again and again.

I made this using cod. Since my husband can't handle really spicy food and I had never used red curry paste before, I elected to use 1 tsp. Also used 1-1/2 c. of chicken broth. We both thought this an outstanding dish.

This recipe was wonderful! I wanted to be true to the recipe so instead of using tilapia or some other white fish I splurged on 4 - 6oz. halibut steaks ($36.00 !!!) and was really hoping this recipe was good and worth the expense. Well it was!! Another winning recipe from Ellie Krieger. My husband thinks I have become a gourmet cook so I may never seen another fine dining restaurant again : ) The halibut was fabulous and the coconut curry broth was scrumptuous. I made it with basmati rice and steamed spinach and served a chilled cucumber salad with it. Will definitely make this again. Use the halibut as this recipe is worth the splurge!!
Great flavor

I made this with a mix of seafood - little neck clams, shrimp and scallops. By far the scallops were the best and would use again when halibut is difficult to come by. I also kicked up the spices a bit and used some cayenne - I think it needed it.
Delicious!!!!!

I used Mahi Mahi instead of Halibut, and omitted the cilantro as my husband does not care for it. I also cut down on the chicken broth to 1 1/2 cups and used more coconut milk. This dish turned out wonderfully! It was very easy to make, and came together very quickly. We all loved it and it will be added to the rotation. I do think that next time I will make a mango salsa to go with it, though.

I had to make substitutions, based on what I had on hand (tilapia instead of halibut - and skipped out on making this as a broth - and just used coconut milk for a saucy dish... and had Italian parsley rather than cilantro). Let me just say, it was EXCELLENT. My entire house smells like my favorite Indian restaurant, with the lovely curry aroma. :-) I served this over a bed of steamed spinach and green beans.. but it would've been splendid with rice, to soak up the sauce. Thank you, Ellie! (love your show, too) :-)

this was the first time i ate halibut and it was delicious!! I love Thai food but I've usually had it with salmon and never,ever made thai food at home! I was too scared! Not only was I surprised at how easy it was to make, the fact that it was under 500 calories was fantastic! My only problem is that the recipe calls for light coconut milk which decreases the fat but kind of takes away that sweet,creamy taste of coconut in regular coconut-curry broths.
Love it!

This is a very flavorful, and simple recipe! I cut the red curry down to about 2 tsp which gave just enough spice. I also only had reg. chicken broth (not low sodium) and it had just the right amount of seasoning. To make the sauce a tad thicker I let it reduce down by simmering it for about 12 minutes. Leftovers were also very good - Will make again!

Very easy recipe, minimal dish use...if you have a rice cooker that helps even more for simplifying the dinner, and it was very tasty.

I substituted red snapper for the halibut since it was expensive, and it worked out really well.

I made only one substitution - used Tilapia instead of Halibut because it wasn't available. My family loved this dish but I think next time I will use more coconut milk and less broth. I found it very brothy and craved more of a coconut taste and more body to the sauce. Yes, I know it's supposed to be fish in broth - I just prefer something thicker and richer! It really is beautiful with the emerald spinach, the white rice and the pale orange and green sauce. Will definitely make again.

My family absolutely loves this dish and it is so pretty I have often served it for guests. There is nothing better than a delicious meal that you can get on the table in less than 30 minutes. I've had good luck substituting green curry paste (although I like the red better). Also, with a slightly longer cooking time this works with boneless, skinless chicken breast as well. Once you try it, I'm sure it will be a favorite of yours as well.

This dish was unbelievable! So delicious, easy to prepare (all in one pan except for the sun-dried tomato quinoa I served with it), and very impressive. I did change a few things; I used 1/2 lite coconut milk and 1/2 regular for richer sauce and a little less chicken broth (1 1/2 cups). I also reduced the broth a bit more (more a sauce, less a broth). Lastly I added garlic. I can't wait to make it again!!

I used regular coconut milk and had to settle for yellow curry powder because I could not locate red curry paste. Halibut was not available, so I used cod. Next time I will make this without cilantro; I'd forgotten how a little bit of that herb goes a loonnnng way as far as my palate is concerned and makes dishes taste "perfumey" to me. I also had to add cayenne for heat. Next time I will make it with the red curry paste and see how it goes. All in all, very easy to make but has complex flavors.

I made this dish last night for my husband. The ingredients were pretty simple and most I had on hand. The flovors, smells and appearance were great. The authenticiy of the dish was right on. It was really very easy to prepare but looked far more complex when served. In my husband's words when I served it, "This looks like a $20 dish at a Thai restaurant." I served the fish as recommended, in a bowl over the spinach with the broth ladeled over it. Instead of brown rice I made whole wheat couscous and served it in a small side bowl with a little drizzle of the broth and a couple of sliced green onions. Both bowls and spoons were from an oriental serving set I have so it gave it that much more flair. I highly recommend anyone wanting to try something different and new to prepare this recipe.

This was so incredibly good! And I have to say I don't usually like really spicy food but I couldn't stop eating this. My husband loved it too. It was a bit too spicy for my 4-year old. Next time I will probably use a little less red curry paste. As for others who say the sauce was thin, I thought it was supposed to be that way. It is called a broth - we actually served it in soup bowls. And I found the rice absorbed the broth which was delicious. I actually used jasmine rice which was great! Anyway, if you like spicy, you'll love this!

I used yellow curry powder as I prefer that particular flavor with seafood.I also made sure I reduced it plenty, thus avoiding the "too thin" broth. I added about two Tbsp. half and half, it made it smooth and "saucy". I know the half and half is not figure friendly but I wasn't concerned about that this particular night.

I followed this recipe by the letter and, unfortunately, my husband and I did not care for it. The red curry in this recipe is so overpowering that you don't taste the coconut milk, cilantro, lime, or any other flavor. With halibut being so very expensive right now, I would choose a recipe that will not overpower the fish's natural "sweetness." We had quite a bit leftoever and all that wonderful fish is going to waste. I gave this recipe 2 stars because it is a healthy recipe and that is always a plus.

I fixed that with the leftovers. I mixed everything together (scallops, sauce, spinach and rice), added the rest of the can of lite coconut milk, and some tamarind paste. BINGO ? that really did it. I think that next time I?d also add some garlic towards the end. All in all a very yummy recipe.

This recipe was fantastic! Halibut was $25 per lb., so I used the thickest pieces of talapia I could find. I also couln't find red curry paste - I made sort my own mashing red curry powder, garlic/onion powder and olive oil into a paste. The instant microwave brown rice was all the talk. My company went mad, mad, mad for all of it!
Very spicy and delicious!

This was a terrific dish, complete with the spinach to finish it off. The first bite was a little spicy and I wondered if I had added too much cilantro, but as we ate on, it was a perfect blend with the mildness of the halibut. This would be a great dish for small company dinners. It will become a regular entree in our home.

Not usually crazy about sauces in general, but this was really tasty. I used orange roughy instead of halibut. It was tender, spicy, delicious and super easy. The spinach helps make the dish and also adds to the presentation.

Delicious! I didn't have coconut milk so I didn't use it and it was still flavorful. I think I must have overcooked the fish though because the halibut steaks were kind of dry.

This recipe is so easy and fast to make, and very very good. When served it has a great presentation too. My husband kept asking me what the special occassion was! One tip - You can use other white fish fillets to substitute for the halibut. Halibut is expensive, and there are less expensive options out there. You could also use chicken in this recipe.

I absolutely love thai, but this recipe failed in my book. The flavor simply just was not there! The sauce was bland. When I made this a second time I used full-fat coconut milk, an extra 2 teaspoons of curry and a let it reduce twice as lond. These changes helped bring flavor to the dish. I recommend using a little bottled fish sauce (sold in chinese markets) as well as some red chili sauce to gice it a little more Thai flavor.

I watched this recipe on my TiVo so i rewatched it as I was making it (and it was really easy to make) and she definitely didn't mention it was spicy. I'm glad I didn't make it for company as she suggested... I even used only 1 tsp. I like spicy food but I guess I didn't realize how hot curry is. I'm making again tonight and I might try to add a little peanut butter in b/c i have to use so little curry paste, that it doesn't get as much flavor. If anyone knows a substitute to get same flavor w/out the heat please post! Anyway, the taste was great! Last time i had to use reg. coconut milk but this time i found low fat.

This recipe is worth stocking your cabinets with the ingredients if you don't already have them. Full of flavor and easy to make, it's a great lite recipe for the health conscious. I didn't have halibut readily available so I used catfish, which was fine, and I think any mild whitefish would work in this recipe.

This recipe was very easy to make and OMG it was so good I couldn't stop talking about it. I tend to not like fish all that much but eat it because it's healthy. I could have eaten so much of this if I hadn't gotten so full :) I normally avoid thai curries b/c they're heavy and calorie laden but this was perfect, the sauce was amazing and the spinach with the sauce was amazing and I'm a beginner cook so the fact that I was able to do it means it really is that simple and straightforward.

We loved this recipe, but used green curry paste. Not sure if the red is milder, but if not -- we could barely taste the curry at first, so I added more in and then it was almost too spicy to eat. It was good but I'm not sure I'd make it again unless I found a milder curry paste. The flavors were all so delicious that I wish it had been less spicy but with the same flavor!
Wonderful!

Absolutely blown away by this recipe -- and I try lots of them. I made a few substitutions and it was great. I didn't have shallots so I substituted finely-chopped onion and it was fine. I also didn't want to spend almost $25/lb. for halibut so I substituted tilapia fillets. I didn't have red curry paste so I used green curry paste instead. Don't know which one is hotter but this was pretty spicy! My husband said it was almost too hot and spicy for him but I loved it. I've stocked up on red curry and shallots but think I will make it again with the tilapia. It was delicious and so much less expensive. Can't wait to have friends over so I can serve it to them, too.

My husband declared this is the best recipe I have tried since Giada's Roman Chicken (about 5 months ago). Interestingly enough, he supposedly "hates" cilantro. I also found halibut out of season so I bought frozen halibut filets found in my regular ol' grocery store's freezer. It tasted completely fresh and the sauce and fish were simply divine. Can't wait to try it with shrimp. The sauce reminds me of Tom Yum soup. Yummy! Do try this recipe!

This is a very easy recipe and yummy too! I was a little surprised by how spicy it was, but the flavor was to die for. On the show Ellie put the rice in the bowl first and so did I. My husband, a big rice guy, loved it. I think I may have liked the better rice on the side, as it soaked up most of the sauce, which is my favorite part. I am going to try this recipes more as a soup, with noodles and tofu(or fish) instead of Rice and Spinach. Either way this was delicous. My 14 month old loved it as well, but only a small amount, it was pretty spicy.

Now I don't have to go to a Thai restaurant anymore! I had only 3/4lb Halibut (expensive), so I should have used only 1 cup of chicken broth, keeping other ingredients for the same amount. Having some steamed baby spinach at the bottom is a great idea. I am thinking of repeating this recipe with shrimp instead for the next time. Overall, very easy to make but can make a very complicated flavor very quickly. Highly recommended for fish lovers!

I was searching for a Thai recipe and was pleased to find such a healthy, clean tasting and delicious option! I used tilapia instead of halibut and it worked very well. I had to use curry powder instead of paste, and would recommend more than the 2 t called for in the recipe...maybe 4 t next time. I paired this dish with ginger and tumeric spiced cauliflower and peas. This made 2 meals for my husband and me, and it still tasted great the next night.

I loved this recipe. It was a one-pot meal to prepare, which I love, and the flavor was great. My husband is not a huge fan of spice, so next time we may reduce the amount of red curry paste to 1 tsp, but other than that I wouldn't change anything. We also used tilapia b/c there was no halibut in our grocery store. It seemed to hold up fine and was very tender. The 90-second brown rice was great. I will buy this for future dishes...Uncle Ben's is what we used. I think putting the cilantro into the sauce is what gives it such great flavor when spooned over the fish and rice. It was great.
