### Thai Red Curry with Fish
This dish combines the rich flavors of Thai cuisine with the freshness of fish, making it a perfect choice for seafood lovers. The recipe calls for a whole fish, skinned, and a variety of ingredients that come together to create a fragrant curry.
**Ingredients:**
- 500g whole fish, skinned
- 3 tablespoons oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 400g canned coconut milk
- 200g green beans, cut into 3 cm pieces
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
- Fresh basil, for garnish
- Lime, sliced, for garnish
- Hot red pepper, sliced, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for about one minute to release its aromas.
2. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Cook for three minutes.
3. Add the green beans and boil for an additional two minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the lime juice, lime zest, and brown sugar.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
5. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts into the flesh of the fish down to the spine. Brush the fish with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper.
6. Heat a large non-stick pan and cook the fish until browned on both sides. Transfer the fish to the baking dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
7. To serve, pour the curry into a large deep dish and place the cooked fish on top. Garnish with fresh coriander, basil, lime slices, and sliced hot red pepper. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice.
