Baked Talapia with Ginger and Cilantro

Super quick, easy and delicious. It would be great served over wild rice and with a side of roasted asparagus and garlic. I found this recipe on another blog and only made a few minor changes.

SERVES 4-6

INGREDIENTS
4-6 tilapia fillets (about 2 pounds)
1 large jalapeño, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves
2 T grated ginger
4 T soy sauce or Bragg Amino Acids
1/3 c white wine or chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 t sesame oil
2/3 c cilantro, chopped
chopped green onions for garnish
extra cilantro for garnish
salt and fresh black cracked black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Pat the tilapia fillets dry and place each on an individual, large piece of aluminum foil. Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Place the jalapeños, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, wine or broth, sesame oil and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse or process until blended. Spoon a generous amount onto each fillet then lightly rub the sauce into the fish. Fold the foil to enclose the fillets.

3. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through. Place the fillets over a bed of wild rice and drizzle some sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
