Ginger Glazed Tilapia

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 5 5-ounce tilapia fillets
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 8 scallions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you're baking the tilapia.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to help the glaze adhere better.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden, but not burnt.
  • Stir in the coconut aminos and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes to create a richer glaze.
  • Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and turn them to coat in the glaze. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the fillets are golden and the glaze has thickened slightly. Alternatively, if baking, place the fillets in a baking dish, pour the glaze over them, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Stir in the unsweetened shredded coconut and chopped scallions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the scallions are tender and the coconut is lightly toasted.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets hot, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
  • Enjoy this flavorful dish with your favorite side dishes.
