CILANTRO BAKED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C / Gas Mark 6

BAKED GARLIC FISH WITH CILANTRO LIME BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Start the rice - I make mine in homemade chicken stock, but you can use water if that's all you have (it's not as nourishing though). Stir in the lime juice and butter. This has to simmer, covered, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan. Mince fresh garlic into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Pour the butter over the top. Lay whatever fish you'd like in the bottom. We used Tilapia. (UPDATE: Please read the comments about whether or not to buy farm-raised Tilapia!) Drizzle more lime juice on top and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake 35 minutes at 350*. (This should get done a little before the rice.)
• While those are cooking, make the homemade pesto.
• Also, chop fresh cilantro up small, I used about 2 big handfuls or so. (I threw some in the pesto, too.)
• When the rice is done, add more fresh lime juice and sea salt to taste (I use a LOT: the juice from about 3-4 small limes, plus at least a teaspoon of sea salt), and then add the chopped cilantro and stir it all together.
