What are your favorite quick dinners for busy nights? Ginger and Cilantro Baked Tilapia: serves 2 1 pound domestically farmed tilapia fillets Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 1 inch fresh ginger, grated, about 1 tablespoon 1 jalapeño pepper, roughly chopped (optional) 1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil Scallions, chopped for garnish Extra cilantro, to garnish Heat the oven to 475°F. Pat the fish dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and lay in a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch ceramic or glass baking dish. Put the garlic, grated ginger, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro in a small food processor with the 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. Food & Health
