Time 39m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large bunch cilantro, chopped (both stems and leaves), plus whole leaves saved for garnish
1 small onion, chopped, plus a small amount diced for garnish
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups Mexican crema or sour cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons freshly-squeezed Mexican lime juice
2 1/2 pounds whitefish filets ( tilapia , grouper, sole, swai, etc.)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix together cilantro leaves and diced onion and reserve for garnish.
  • Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet. Sauté chopped onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until onion is translucent.
  • Place sautéed onions and garlic, crema, salt, lime juice, and cilantro into a blender. Process until you have a soft green sauce.
  • Lightly grease a glass or metal baking dish. Place white fish filets in dish in a single layer. Pour sauce over filets. Move filets slightly so that some of the sauce gets in under the fish.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 25 minutes. Baking time will vary according to thickness of filets; watch your dish closely so that fish does not overcook. Fish is done when it can be easily flaked with a fork.
  • Garnish each serving with reserved cilantro and onion. Serve with white or red rice or boiled potatoes.
