Yumminess in a packet

This is my take on a recipe out of Self magazine. It’s healthy, easy and full of flavor. It’s a great recipe for a dinner party because you can make the topping ahead of time and stick it in the fridge until you are ready to start the fish. The other great thing about this recipe is that there is virtually no clean up!

Foil Wrapped Baked Tilapia

makes 4 servings

Stars in the topping

1-inch cube fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped or grated
2 green onions (green part only), finely chopped
Fresh jalapeno or Serrano to taste
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 Tbs Olive oil
Dash of toasted sesame oil
Dash of soy sauce
Dash of fish sauce
4 tsp real maple syrup
Salt and pepper

Tilapia

4 fillets fresh tilapia

Salt and pepper

4 squares of foil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Combine all topping ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place a fillet on it’s own square of foil and divide topping evenly among them, spreading it over the top.

Fold the foil over the fish and pinch the edges tightly all around to form a packet.

Place on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes.

ENJOY!!
