Ginger Soy Tilapia
Update: This recipe has been updated. See Ginger Soy Tilapia (2005-06-15).
We like this dish because it tastes wonderful and there isn't much clean-up (just the rice pot and the baking dish). The fish is baked underneath aluminum foil to keep the steam of the fish in, keeping it moist. Originally served as part of Ginger Soy Tilapia.
Ingredients
- 1.3 pounds fillets tilapia (rinsed and patted dry)
- 3 cups white rice (cooked)
- 2½ teaspoons vegetable, divided oil
- 1 cup carrots (chopped)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 ounces white button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
We pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.
We put a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a nine by thirteen inch baking dish and put in the oven. We put in the onions, mushrooms, and carrots in succession as we get them chopped.
We prepare the soy-ginger sauce by combining 2.5 teaspoons of the vegetable oil with the ginger, the garlic, the soy sauce and the sesame oil. Abut 10 minutes after we add the carrots to the dish, we lay the rinsed and dried tilapia on top of the vegetables and pour the sauce on top.
We cover the baking dish with some aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
We serve the tilapia over rice and sprinkle with the cilantro.
