Halibut Green Curry: Your New Weeknight Favorite
When you think "quick weeknight dinner," curry might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But this Halibut Green Curry from Peak to Plate changes everything.
It's the perfect balance of bright, fresh flavors and rich, creamy comfort—and it comes together faster than you'd think.
Why This Recipe Works for Wild Alaskan Halibut
Halibut's firm texture makes it ideal for curry. Unlike more delicate fish, halibut holds up beautifully when simmered in a flavorful sauce, staying intact while absorbing all those aromatic spices.
This recipe celebrates what makes wild Alaskan halibut special: clean, mild flavor that lets the curry sauce shine while delivering serious protein (over 30 grams per serving).
What Makes It Special
Bright + Rich: Fresh vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, Swiss chard) bring color and crunch, while coconut milk and green curry paste create a creamy, aromatic sauce that's both comforting and refreshing.
Quick Cooking: From start to finish, this meal takes about 40 minutes—and most of that is hands-off simmering time.
Customizable: Use whatever vegetables you have on hand. The curry paste does the heavy lifting on flavor, so you can swap ingredients based on what's in your fridge.
Perfectly Balanced: A squeeze of lime juice at the end brightens everything up, while Thai basil and Fresno chiles add that final pop of freshness and heat.
The Secret to Perfect Fish Curry
Don't overcook the fish. When halibut is cut into 1-inch cubes, it cooks quickly—just 4-5 minutes in simmering sauce. The result? Tender, flaky fish that doesn't fall apart.
Add vegetables strategically. Heartier veggies like zucchini and bell peppers go in first. Delicate greens like chard get stirred in at the very end so they stay vibrant and just barely wilted.
Serve over sticky rice. The rice soaks up all that delicious curry sauce and makes this a complete, satisfying meal.
Make It Your Own
This recipe works beautifully with any wild-caught white fish: cod, rockfish, sablefish, or even salmon if you want a richer flavor.
The key is starting with quality fish—and wild Alaskan halibut from SenaSea delivers every time. Firm texture. Clean flavor. Sustainably harvested. Delivered fresh to your door.
