Step 1
Cut the 1 lb fish fillets into 2-inch chunks and season with a pinch of salt. Mince the 2 garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in the 2 tbsp red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Pour in the 1 can coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Add the fish chunks and 1 tbsp fish sauce. Simmer gently until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the curry. Serve hot with rice if desired.
