Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tilapia fillets,
4 large cabbage leaves,
1 cup cooked jasmine or basmati rice,
6 tbsp lemon juice,
2 tsp grated ginger root,
4 tsp soy sauce,
2 tsp cooking sherry,
4 tbsp butter,
1/4 tsp Asian 5-Spice
dash salt,
dash pepper

Steps:

In a small mixing bowl combine lemon juice, ginger root, soy sauce, 5-spice, salt, pepper and sherry. Place tilapia fillets in a shallow baking dish in a single layer. Pour sauce over fillets to cover and refrigerate for at least an hour up to overnight. Preheat oven to 350F. Cook the cabbage leaves in boiling water just until tender. Place 1/4 of the prepared rice in the center of a cabbage leaf. Place fillet on top and sprinkle with extra marinade. Wrap leaf to cover fish completely, skewer with toothpick to secure if needed. Bake for 14-16 minutes and test with meat thermometer if you wish to verify doneness. Serve hot.
