1 Video | Photo: Coconut Milk Tilapia Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 4 tilapia fillets
- Salt
- 1(1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/2 pound snow peas
- 4 small red potatoes, quartered sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 cup coconut milk
Directions
Special equipment: brown paper bags
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Soak 4 small brown paper bags in vegetable oil until saturated. Scrape off excess oil and set aside. Season the fillets with salt, grated ginger, lemon zest and juice. Top each with about 5 or 6 snow peas and 1 of the thinly sliced potatoes. Transfer each fillet into 1 of the bags and pour about 1/4 cup of the coconut milk into each bag. Fold well to seal in juices and steam. Place onto 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until bags are puffed and fish and potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately at the table in the puffed bags. Tear open.

This was very tasty but could have used twice the ginger and lemon zest. I did read the reviews on undercooked potatoes and changed a couple of things. I put the potatoes in the microwave for about 3 minutes after cutting them up but well before assembling the ingredients (so they could cool first. I checked the fish after 20 minutes, and the center was raw. I ended up cooking the bags for 40 minutes total, and everything was nicely cooked. I will make the dish again... the whole family enjoyed it.

This is a delicious recipe. It is simple, and so easy to clean up afterwards. My pickiest child actually asked for seconds
If you don't have brown paper bags, I could recommend parchment paper packets sprayed with cooking spray--even wax paper works in a pinch.
