This is SO simple. It really takes very little time to be sitting down to the most fragrant and vibrant curry ever. You can sub out the fish for chicken if you wish. Double duty!

TIP: Kaffir lime leaves are quite easy to get these days. They are sometimes referred to as Thai lime leaves or more accurately, though lesser-known, makrut lime leaves. The tree also has very ugly bumpy skinned limes but the leaves are the most common part of the plant to be used in cooking.
