Thai-Style Tilapia image

A very easy yet really interesting way to prepare this fish. Tilapia fillets are simmered in a seasoned coconut milk sauce for a luxurious flavor. These will look beautiful served over a bed of rice. Adjust the amount of spice to your liking by adding more or less red pepper flakes.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup coconut milk
6 whole almonds
2 tablespoons chopped white onion
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chopped fresh lemon grass
¼ teaspoon salt
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the coconut milk, almonds, onion, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Process until smooth.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them skin-side up in the skillet. Pour the pureed sauce over the fish. Use a spatula to coat the fish evenly with the sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the puree is thickened and fish flakes easily with a fork.
