Tilapia in Scallion & Ginger Sauce

[AWMiller]

Tonight's tilapia was served with a steamed rice/vegetable medley and home-style greens beans with bacon and potatoes.  For this recipe you can easily substitute the tilapia with orange roughy, cod, sole, or flounder.

* 1/3 cup dry sherry or vermouth
* 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons sesame oil
* 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
* 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
* red pepper flakes (optional; to taste)
* 1 pound tilapia fillets

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix the sherry or vermouth, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.

Place the fish fillets in a casserole dish.  Drizzle the marinade over the fish and bake for 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.  Garnish as desired... I prefer to take some jalepeños and chop them up for some added "heat".
