Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup coconut milk
6 whole almonds
1 small white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon fresh lemongrass, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the coconut milk, almonds, onion, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Process until smooth.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them skin-side up in the skillet. Pour the pureed sauce over the fish. Use a spatula to coat the fish evenly with the sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the puree is thickened and fish flakes easily with a fork.
