Seared Red Snapper with Thai Curry Sauce

I have a number of great friends in Thailand and I have been fortunate to be invited to their homes a number of times to enjoy Thai food. The former Boathouse Restaurant in Phuket was destroyed and never rebuilt following the Tsunami a few years ago and the former chef passed on a simple recipe that I have prepared many times with the fresh snapper I caught in the cold Pacific waters.
