What you need:
- 2-4 Walleye fillets
- 1 Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, crushed
- 4” Lemon Grass (optional)
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 1 jar Green Curry (or 2 Tablespoons green curry powder)
- Salt + Pepper
- 1 Lime
- 2 cups of cooked rice
- Cilantro to garnish
How To Make It:
- Start cooking a pot of rice. Long grain rice like Jasmine works well for this.
- Saute the onion on medium heat in a lightly oiled pan until translucent.
- Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and stir things around until they start to really smell awesome.
- Add the coconut milk and curry paste. Stir well to incorporate.
- Turn up the temperature so that your liquids start to bubble. Allow the liquid to evaporate and reduce until thickened, almost like a pancake batter.
- Lightly season your raw fillets with salt + pepper on both sides.
- Then, float on top of your coconut curry mixture, cover with a lid and let cook until the walleye is fully cooked through. About 8 minutes.
- Dish some hot rice onto a plate and gently lift your walleye fillet on top. Spoon over a good amount of the coconut sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the top!
