Broiled Tilapia With Thai Coconut Curry Sauce

This dish is loaded with flavor and makes a lovely, colorful presentation. You'll want to serve with plenty of rice to absorb the wonderful sauce. (noted added 11/05/07: i like to credit original recipe sources when known, but wasn't sure about this one when i submitted the recipe. Fortunately, a reviewer pointed out that the recipe came from cooking light, so i searched their site--indeed, it was originally published in their september 2002 issue. Thanks to the reviewer for bringing this to my attention, and thanks to cooking light for developing the recipe! :) )
