Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut-Curry Sauce


I love this recipe. I found it on Cookinglight.com. The recipe calls for light coconut milk. When Jess was in town we made it with regular coconut milk, because that was all I had, and it was not as good. So, I would suggest using the light.
Serve with rice!
