  4. Pour in coconut milk and lime juice plus zest. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Gently place fish fillets into the sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until opaque and flaky.
  6. Taste the curry and season with salt, pepper, and extra lime juice as desired. Stir to adjust flavors.
  7. Fluff the jasmine rice and serve as a base for the curry. Top with fish and sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro.
