(Noted added 11/05/07: I like to credit original recipe sources when known, but wasn't sure about this one when I submitted the recipe. Fortunately, a reviewer pointed out that the recipe came from Cooking Light, so I searched their site--indeed, it was originally published in their September 2002 issue. Thanks to the reviewer for bringing this to my attention, and thanks to Cooking Light for developing the recipe! :) )

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk (I used regular)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
3 cups hot cooked basmati rice

Tips:

To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly, make sure they are all of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to slice thicker fillets in half horizontally.
If you don't have a grill pan, you can broil the tilapia fillets on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to adjust the amount of curry paste in the sauce to suit your taste. If you like things spicy, add more paste. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
Serve the broiled tilapia with a side of jasmine rice or your favorite steamed vegetable.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are cooked to perfection in the broiler, and the Thai coconut curry sauce is rich and flavorful.
