Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized chunks and set aside. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add red curry paste, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the fish chunks, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they begin to flake and turn opaque.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, lime zest and juice, and season with salt and pepper. Optional: stir in fish sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
