Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce

One thing I have loved lately is that Gary is home early enough that he does all the cooking :) (too bad that won't last forever) And he has done an AMAZING job!! So far this has been our favorite recipe from http://www.skinnytaste.com/ We think it would also be good with chicken...or even just the sauce over rice would be delicious. Gary doesn't love "Indian" curry, but really loves "Thai" curry. To me curry is curry and it's all delicious, but I'm just happy we have found a curry dish that Gary is happy with and willing to have again....and again...and again :)

This amazing fish dish will make you look like you really know your way around the kitchen. The sauce really makes the dish! For you Thai lovers, this recipe is a keeper. Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking, I used my mini food processor to save time (love this!). This dish is quick, easy, took less than 30 minutes start to finish. Perfect over jasmine rice. (You can substitute basil for cilantro if you don't care for cilantro)
