I've been meaning to post this recipe for over a week now. It was SOOOOOOOOO good! Best fish recipe I've ever made hands down. The flavor was amazing. It was just frozen tilapia from Wal-mart, but it tasted so tender and juicy and wonderful. Since there weren't any veggies, I added chopped tomato and sauteed mushrooms (and maybe zucchini?). Anyway, the dish looked so pretty I took a picture of it. In any case, I'm definitely definitely making this dish again and again. And the sesame seed oil is important. Also, I didn't have white wine, so I put in some olive oil.

Ginger and Cilantro Baked Tilapia
serves 2, or 1 with lunch leftovers
2 large tilapia fillets (or similar thin white fish) - about 3/4 pound
1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
3 garlic cloves
1 inch grated ginger (1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Scallions, chopped for garnish
Extra cilantro, to garnish
Heat the oven to 475ºF. Pat the fish dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a glass baking dish.
Chop the pepper and garlic, and grate the ginger. Put in a small food processor with the soy sauce, white wine, sesame oil, and cilantro. Whir until blended. Pour the sauce over the fish, rubbing it in a little. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through. It will be very moist and gelatinous, still.
Serve immediately over brown rice, garnished with scallions and cilantro.
