Here is what the dinner menu is this week...

Monday:  Paleo Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti squash

Tuesday:  Tom Kha Gai Soup

Wednesday:  Curried Coconut Tilapia

Ingredients:
1 c. coconut milk
4 kaffir lime leaves (i get them at whole foods and store what i don't use in the freezer)
2 tsp. fish sauce
1 1-in. pc fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp. red curry paste
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 large shallot, sliced
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 lb. tilapia filets
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 c. toasted coconut

Bring milk to a simmer, add lime leaves and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in sauce, ginger and paste; set aside.  Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil on medium high, add shallots and sauté 5 minutes.  Toss with curry powder and add 1 more tbsp. olive oil.  Continue to sauté 5 minutes before adding fish filets in a single layer.  Cook filets 2 minutes on each side.  Pour milk blend over filets, top with cilantro and continue to sauté at a minimal boil for 508 minutes.  Serve over rice; top with coconut. 

You can find Kaffir Lime Leaves at Whole Foods.  I usually purchase a few boxes and store them in the freezer to have on hand for when I need them.  The Tom Kha Gai recipe calls for them as well....
