Combine classic Indian flavors with fresh swordfish from Heinen’s in this bright and flavorful red curry bowl!
Known as the “steak of the sea,” swordfish happens to be my favorite fish of all for its meaty and dense flavor and texture. Typically, I enjoy this fresh catch as a full fillet, but in an effort to add some variety to my dinner routine, I decided to cube it, dress it with a delicious red curry sauce and serve it in a beautiful bowl alongside an assortment of Heinen’s Midwest grown veggies and rice.
I could not dream of a summer meal more delicious than this! Let’s dig in!

If red curry paste is used rather than red curry sauce, what is the amount to be used?
Hi Shirley, we recommend using about 2 Tbsp. of paste stirred into the coconut cream base. We hope you enjoy this recipe!
