Ingredients

12 Tilapia fillets

Oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Chives

1 bunch Cilantro

1/2 bunch Parsley

1 cup Green onions

4 cloves Garlic

1 cup Seafood stock (from the shells and fish bones)

1 cup Heavy cream

1 tablespoon Peppercorns

3 Lemons, juiced

1 dash Sea salt

Preparation

Season the fillets with salt and pepper.

Add a little oil to a cast iron pan. Slightly brown the tilapia fillets. Remove them from the pan.

For the cilantro sauce, combine the cilantro, parsley, green onions, garlic, seafood stock, peppercorns, lemon juice and sea salt in a blender and blend it until you get a nice, smooth green sauce.

With the cast iron pan still warm, remove excess oil and add the green sauce. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes, then add the heavy cream.

Add the tilapia fillets for about 2 minutes. Serve with chives.

About

I love to eat fish as well as to cook it. I must admit though I prefer to cook a whole fish - that means with its head- than fish fillets. I was feel a little overwhelmed with them. After much reading recipes from halfhourmeals.com, two of them caught my attention and I decided to blend them together in my own way. My inspirations were Fried Fish with Coriander/Cilantro Sauce and Herb and Lemon Butter Tilapia.
