Serves 2

Ingredients 

500 gr domestically farmed tilapia fillets,

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper,

3 garlic cloves peeled and smashed,

1 inch fresh ginger grated, about 1 tablespoon,

pepper roughly chopped (optional),  

1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves,

1/4 cup white wine,

2 tablespoons soy sauce,

1 teaspoon sesame oil,

Scallions chopped for garnish,

Extra cilantro to garnish 


Directions 

Heat the oven to 250°Celsius.

Pat the fish dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and lay in a 20x20 (or 25x25) ceramic or glass baking dish. Put the garlic, grated ginger, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro in a small food processor with the white wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Whir until blended. (Alternately, you can finely chop or mash the aromatics in a mortar and pestle, then whisk together with the liquid ingredients).

Pour the sauce over the fish, rubbing it in a little. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.

It will be very moist and even a little gelatinous, still.

Serve immediately over brown rice or orzo, garnished with the additional scallions and cilantro.


Bon appétit!
