Baked Tilapia With Coconut Cilantro Sauce Recipes

COCONUT-CRUSTED TILAPIA (PALEO)

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix unsweetened coconut, coconut flour, and salt together on a plate.
• Brush egg over each tilapia fillet. Press each fillet into coconut mixture until evenly coated. Gently toss between your hands so any coconut that hasn't stuck can fall away. Place the coated fillets onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Fry fillets in the hot oil until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

COCONUT MILK TILAPIA

Steps:

• Special equipment: brown paper bags
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Soak 4 small brown paper bags in vegetable oil until saturated. Scrape off excess oil and set aside. Season the fillets with salt, grated ginger, lemon zest and juice. Top each with about 5 or 6 snow peas and 1 of the thinly sliced potatoes. Transfer each fillet into 1 of the bags and pour about 1/4 cup of the coconut milk into each bag. Fold well to seal in juices and steam. Place onto 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until bags are puffed and fish and potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately at the table in the puffed bags. Tear open.

BUTTER-BAKED TILAPIA AND COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add rice and cook and stir until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add coconut milk, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season tilapia fillets with lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides. Place in a glass pan. Break the stick of butter in half and place directly on top of the fillets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until butter is fully melted and bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Ladle some of the butter back over the fish and reduce the oven temperature to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish looks just about done, 3 to 5 minutes more. Raise the temperature back to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake until the edges start to get golden brown. Serve with rice.
