Cilantro-Lime Tilapia


  • 2 bunch green onion,
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup veggie or chicken stock
  • oil
  • flour (about 1 cup)
  • cumin (about 2 Tbsp.)
  • salt (2 tsp.)
  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • avocado
  • Cooked white rice
Dice the green onion bunches and the cilantro (reserve half of each for later) and put half of each in a pan with the lime juice and stock. Simmer till reduced by half. Add in the butter, when melted, pour into a bowl or cup and use an immersion blender (or regular blender) to process till smooth. 

Heat oil in a large skillet till hot and sizzles when anything is put in (you can test with a piece of green onion). Mix flour, salt and cumin. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture and fry until just starting to brown on edges, flip and cook that side for about 1 minute. Remove and place on a paper towel. 

Serve fish over the rice, top with sauce and sprinkle fresh green onion and cilantro. Put 2-3 slices of avocado on side.
