CRUNCHY OVEN-BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place fillets on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice and zest, salt, onion powder and pepper. Spread mayonnaise mixture over fish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; spritz with cooking spray., Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

OVEN POACHED TILAPIA FILLETS

Steps:

• Cut the onion into 8 slices.
• Cut the tomatoes into 8 slices.
• Juice one lemon and slice the other two lemons into 8 slices.
• Wash filets.
• Place each filet on a 12" piece of heavy-duty foil.
• Place 2 onion slices, 2 tomato slices, and 2 lemon slices on top of each filet. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the lemon juice.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Wrap the foil into pouches, twisting the sides so that no juice escapes.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

TILAPIA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the white wine, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• 2. Place each tilapia fillet on a separate 14-by-12-inch piece of nonstick foil. Drizzle one-quarter of the white wine mixture over each fish fillet and top with one-quarter of the tomatoes, capers and thyme. Fold the foil up over each piece of fish and seal to create a packet. Put the packets on a sheet pan and bake until the fish becomes fragrant, 20 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets; let cool for 3 minutes. Open the packets, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt evenly over the fillets and serve.

OVEN-POACHED PACIFIC SOLE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil or butter one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish(es) and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small or medium skillet and add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan, bring to a boil, and pour the wine and shallots over the fish. Return the skillet to the stove (make sure the heat is off) for later use. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness, until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork.
• While the fish is in the oven, whisk together the garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. You can also mash the garlic in a mortar and pestle and work in the capers, lemon juice and olive oil, though I prefer the capers chopped, even some intact, and not puréed.
• When the fish is done remove it from the oven and carefully transfer to a platter or plates. Cover and keep warm. Pour the liquid in the baking dish into the skillet and turn the heat on high. Reduce, stirring often, to about 1/4 cup - it should be thick - and stir in the garlic and caper mixture and the parsley. Whisk together, taste and adjust seasoning, pour over the fish and serve.
