Ginger and Cilantro Baked Tilapia

Serves 2 (Note that this is only 2 servings!)

2 large tilapia fillets
1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
3 garlic cloves
1 inch grated ginger (1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Scallions, chopped for garnish
Extra cilantro, to garnish

1. Heat the oven to 425*F. Pat the fish dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a glass baking dish coated with cooking spray.

2. Chop the pepper and garlic, and grate the ginger. Put in a small food processor with the soy sauce, white wine, sesame oil, and cilantro. Whir until blended. Pour the sauce over the fish, rubbing it in a little. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through. Garnish with scallions and cilantro.

Served with rice and green beans

Results: Based on how amazing the original recipe looked, I was really excited about this meal. But I was disappointed. There were way too many flavors competing and it was way too salty. Chris thought it was too spicy (I did not). Neither of us really liked it.
