  • 1 can (13 to 14 oz.) regular or lite coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 8 ounce mushrooms, halved
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 4 to 6 thai basil leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 4 halibut fillets, alaska halibut fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
  • 1 1/2 olive or grapeseed oil
  • 1/2 lime or lemon, if desired
Directions
  1. Cook rice in a rice cooker or saucepot according to package directions; keep warm.
  2. Whisk coconut milk, curry paste, and brown sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer; add mushrooms and zucchini. Cook 2 minutes, then stir in fish sauce and Thai basil. Turn off heat; cover and keep warm.
  3. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold running water; pat dry with a paper towel. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of halibut with oil. Gently place halibut in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Turn fillets over, reduce heat to medium, and cover pan tightly. Cook 5 to 7 minutes for frozen halibut or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
  4. For each serving, portion about 1 cup rice into a low-sided bowl or on rimmed plate. Place a halibut portion over rice; squeeze on lime or lemon juice, if desired. Ladle about 1 cup sauce and vegetables over all.
