Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1½ cups crinkle-cut or sliced carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz red curry paste
  • 1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
  • 3 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1½ lbs skinless mahi mahi filets
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 12 basil leaves, chiffonade
Instructions
  1. Heat coconut oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted and hot, add the onions. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the carrots; cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the peppers and garlic. Sauté another 2-3 minutes.
  2. Move the veggies to the sides of the skillet and add the red curry paste and peanut butter; sauté the curry for 2-3 minutes to intensify the flavor, moving around the pan. Then add the coconut milk and fish sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to medium-low.
  3. Add the mahi mahi, gently nestling the fish into the curry. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the lime zest and basil leaves. Serve over rice, if desired.
