A very easy and really interesting way to prepare this fish. Simmered in a seasoned coconut milk sauce for a luxurious flavor, these will look beautiful served over a bed of basmati rice.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut milk
6 whole almonds
1 small white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon fresh lemongrass, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)

Directions

1
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.
2
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.
3
Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the puree is thickened and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Very good recipe - I had to improvise a few items. No almonds so used a tablespoon of almond butter; only yellow onions, no lemongrass - but very tasty and - more important for me at times - FAST. Give it a try!

I made this twice. First I followed the recipe. It just didn't have much flavor. I thought it might be the lemon grass, so I tried the recipe again. It was just blah, not bad, just blah. On the positive side, it's pretty. If you like bland food, it's for you.

I made this for my DS as a take-home meal and was thoroughly enjoyed, I used basa fillets instead of tilapia, the combinations of flavors in this recipe is simply wonderful, I increased the pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon and also added in some garlic powder, thanks for sharing Kel!

I made this tonight as a treat for my parents. I added a little extra red pepper to make it spicy, though. It turned out fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
