We love fish, but I hate cooking it (and thus, eating it) the same way all the time. This recipe was a different flavor than I'd ever had with fish, and we LOVED it!
4-6 tilapia fillets (about 2 lbs)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves
2 Tbls grated ginger (from about a 2 inch piece that has been peeled)
4 Tbls low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tsp sesame oil
2/3 cup chopped cilantro
chopped green onions for garnish
extra cilantro for garnish
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Pat the tilapia fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fish in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
Place the jalapenos, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, broth, sesame oil and cilantro in a blender. Pulse until blended. You can leave it as coarse or finely chopped as you like. Pour the sauce over the fish and rub the sauce into the fish lightly. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through. Using a spatula, scoop the fish out of the pan and place on a plate or platter. Drizzle some of the extra sauce over the top and serve immediately.
