To prepare a thai style halibut coconut curry broth recipe, first you will need to prepare the ingredients for the broth. First, you'll need the following ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs. Halibutian tilapia, cut in half lengthwise, 1 pound coconut milk, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, and 1 tablespoon curry paste. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chopped coconut in the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. In the same saucepan, add 1 cup of water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Strain the liquid out of the pan and set aside.
