Jamaican Jerk Tilapia With Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce Recipes

TILAPIA WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°.
• Sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; sauté the garlic and onion for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 1 minute longer. Set aside or refrigerate until nearly serving time.
• Fish: Line a baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Brush fillets lightly with butter; arrange in the baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake the fish for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through.
• Warm the sauce up and drizzle a little over each serving of fish.

JAMAICAN JERK TILAPIA WITH CILANTRO LIME CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F
• Mix the Panko bread crumbs with 2tsp Jamaican jerk seasoning (more if desired). If you like a finer crust, you could add both ingredients to ziplock-style bag and bash with a rolling pin. This creates more of fine dust instead of a chunky topping. If desired, add some salt to the bread crumb mixture.
• Put the egg whites into a large bowl and whip with a whisk until they are frothy.
• Now wash and dry each tilapia filet (i.e. pat dry- this helps the coating stick) then dip each one into the egg whites. Drain each filet thoroughly then dredge through the Panko mixture to coat each side. Although there isn't a lot of Panko mixture, there is enough for this recipe. Make sure you carefully divide the mixture between each filet.
• Coat a shallow baking pan/sheet with Pam (or similar) cooking spray. Place the filets onto the baking sheet and place on the middle rack of a pre-heated oven.
• Bake for 8 - 10 minutes (could take longer depending on your oven), turning once after 4-5 minutes. They are done when the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Place the Greek yogurt, a bunch of cilantro (coriander in some countries) and the juice of one whole lime in a small blender and mix until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add some more lime juice. If you want your dish to have more heat, add the whole jalapeño at this point and mix again until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste, optional.
• Serve the fish on a plate with veggies or Jamaican steamed cabbage and some brown rice then drizzle with the cilantro lime cream sauce!! Enjoy
