Number Of Ingredients 16

Reynolds Wrap Foil
4 (4 -5 ounce) tilapia fillets, thawed if frozen and patted dry with paper towels
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, zest of
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces almonds, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, juice of
1 lb cauliflower, cut into florets
1 red onion, cut into 1-inchx2-inch wedges (cut into 1-inch wedges, lengthwise, then cut each in half, crosswise)
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and cut off an additional 4 squares of foil to make fish packets.
  • Melt butter in olive oil over low heat; brush foil squares with just a small amount of this mixture (the remainder will be used for the sauce) - alternatively, you can spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper; lay one fillet on each foil square and grate the lemon zest over each.
  • Close up packets and arrange on a prepared baking sheet; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place cauliflower florets, onion, and tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil; arrange, in a single layer, on the other prepared baking sheet.
  • Season vegetables with salt and pepper and roast until cauliflower just begins to brown on the edges and tomatoes soften and collapse, about 15 minutes.
  • Once fish and vegetables are done, place almonds in remaining olive oil/butter mixture and heat just until almonds are golden, only about 1 minute - be careful, they burn easily (even if they do brown, they are still good).
  • Open packets and plate fish with cauliflower mix along side; top with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

1 lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels
2 tablespoons buttermilk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon lime juice
1 -2 teaspoon red chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
Reynolds Wrap Foil (Non-Stick)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the tilapia fillets with the juice of one lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to assemble tamales.
  • Make the masa dough for the tamales: Beat one stick of butter with 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until mixture is smooth.
  • Place the corn kernels in a food processor or blender with the buttermilk and the salt and process until smooth. Add corn to the butter/egg mixture and beat until well blended.
  • Stir the baking powder into the masa (harina de maiz). Add dry ingredients to the corn/butter mixture, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice and red chile sauce to taste.
  • Assemble tamales: Place a 7 by 12 inch rectangle of Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick foil on the counter, with the non-stick side facing up.
  • Spread about 1/3 cup of the corn masa dough into a 3 x 5 inch rectangle in the center of the foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the chile cream cheese mixture on top of the masa, and top with 1 tablespoon each chopped red pepper and green onions. Place one tilapia flillet on top of the cream cheese and vegetables, and spread another tablespoon of the chile cream cheese over the fish. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

  • Make 3 more tamales in the same way.
  • Place tamales in a steamer basket, and place the basket over a pot with 2 inches of simmering water. Tamales should not touch the water. Cover tightly with a lid and steam tamales for 1 hour, checking water level from time to time.
  • Let tamales cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Tamales can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or in a steamer. Unwrap tamales before reheating them in the microwave. This recipe makes 4 large tamales. You can divide the filling into smaller portions to make 8-10 smaller tamales, or even 16 appetizer-size tamales.

BAKED FRESH WHOLE TILAPIA #RSC



Baked Fresh Whole Tilapia #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. Tilapia is a fine fish, delicious, healthy and reasonable. If you agree with that, then you should try fresh, live swimming tilapia, it is simply heavenly. In high-end restaurants, Tilapia is typically served whole and filleted in the dinning room in front of the patrons. I decided to do the same. There is a store where live fish can be bought here in NYC. I choose red Tilapia because the color has more plate appeal. Tilapia has a sweet earthy flavor and mild and a firm, flaky texture. However, the earthy flavor can taste muddy to some. This recipe is designed to transform this earthy flavor into something that is subtlety gracious. The heavy duty non-stick Reynolds wrap is to create a cooking environment that will cook the fish quickly at very high heat, at the same time giving a little smoky flavor and making the skin very crispy. BTW, each 16 oz of whole tilapia is 5 oz of meat after filleted. The plating of this dish shows one serving.

  • Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your foil packets. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packets. Leave some space between the fillets and vegetables so that they can cook evenly.
  • Seal the foil packets tightly. This will prevent the juices from escaping and help to create a moist cooking environment.
  • Bake the foil packets for the recommended amount of time. Overcooking will dry out the fish and vegetables.
