Ingredients
  • 4 (5 ounce) skinless tilapia fillets (can substitute red snapper)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste (see note in post above)
  • ⅓ cup diced sweet onion
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ cup seeded, small diced Poblano pepper
  • 1¼ cups So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Culinary Milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted macadamia nuts, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF.
  2. Line a rimmed, baking sheet with nonstick foil, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towel. Place fish on prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder and kosher salt. Turn pieces to evenly coat. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large, nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and pepper and sauté for 3 minutes, or until softened.
  5. Stir in coconut milk, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until slightly reduced.
  6. Stir in lime juice and vanilla extract. Season with kosher salt, to taste. Remove from heat.
  7. Plate fish, spoon sauce over fish, and sprinkle with cilantro and nuts, to serve.
