Tilapia with Thai Curry Sauce

I have prepared this dish with various mild flavoured white fish, and it is always a treat! Serve it on a bed of scented Thai rice, brown rice or my favourite, organic whole Basmati rice. This is another extremely quick meal, with a flavour that will without a doubt break from the routine of your daily fare! If you are not accustomed to spicy foods, go easy on the Thai curry paste. It can be kind of hot!

1 lime, quartered
Fresh coriander

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over a medium high heat. Add onions, garlic and peppers. Cook until lightly browned.
