Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 1 cup champagne
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 pieces clementines (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon clementine zest
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet or shallow saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the champagne and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the alcohol to cook off for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk, fresh clementine juice, clementine zest, and honey. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Carefully place the seasoned tilapia fillets into the skillet, ensuring they are slightly submerged in the poaching liquid.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the fish to poach for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Using a spatula, gently transfer the tilapia fillets to serving plates.
Reduce the poaching liquid for 2-3 minutes, if desired, to create a slightly thicker sauce.
Spoon the sauce over the tilapia fillets and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
