Description:
Tilapia is always available--and comes in various sizes (big, medium, small)--and very easy to eat, cause its "bones" are easily detectable- unlike other kinds of fish. This is a novel way of serving Tilapia .
I partner this dish with Chicken Sinampalukan-and they really blend well together. Try it!
Ingredients:
4 or 5 Tilapia fillet
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsps hoisin sauce
2 tbsps. fresh LIME juice (or lemon)--I use lime though
2 tbsps cooking wine (optional)
2 tsps grated peeled fresh ginger (not powder please)
1-1/2 tsps cornstarch
2 jalapeno chillies (or long green native chilli) chopped finely
1 tbsp. garlic finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup honey
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
some salt
some seasonings of your choice
Directions:
-preheat oven to 425 F.
-combine all ingredients, except tilapia - stir and set aside
-Arrange tilapia fillet in a single layer in a glass or ceramic
baking dish
-Spoon some sauce over the fillets and roast for 12-15 mins. or
until the fish is quite opaque .
- Just before 2-3 mins before removing from the oven, pour
the rest of the sauce---and then viola!!!!
Your dish is good to be served!
For accent: sprinkle w/ fresh cilantro or chopped green scallions
