Recipe Obsession: Baked Talapia with Coconut Cilantro Lime Sauce

Fish is delicious and nutritious but can taste bland if you don't know how to spice it up. This recipe I found on the Food Network about a year ago that I have fell in love with. 


Ingredients:

Coconut oil spray
Four 6-ounce pieces tilapia fillet
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup light reduced-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon peeled chopped fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 garlic cloves
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cups cooked brown rice, for serving

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with coconut oil spray. Sprinkle the fish with the salt and place it in the pan.Combine the coconut milk, cilantro, ginger, garam masala, garlic and jalapeno in a blender and pulse until fairly smooth. Pour the mixture over the fish. Bake until the fish is just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. Garnish with more cilantro and serve with the rice.Per Serving (analysis does not include brown rice):
