Ingredients
4
tilapia fillets
2 tablespoon margarine; low-fat
1/4 cup
green pepper; chopped
4 tablespoon chopped onion
1/4 cup
toasted almonds; chopped
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4
teaspoon oregano
4 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon
chopped coriander; (or parsley)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cup
water
2 cloves garlic; crushed
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1 lime peel
Melt the margarine in hot
skillet over medium heat. Do not let the butter turn brown. Add the
green pepper and 2 tablespoons of onion. Then sauté the pepper and
onion until onion is transparent. Next add the almonds, the bread
crumbs, oregano, one tablespoon of lime juice, coriander and salt. Mix
well. Spoon the filling down the center of each tilapia fillet. Then
roll up each fillet and secure with toothpicks. In a shallow baking pan,
combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of onion, water, garlic, bay leaf,
red pepper and the remaining 3 tablespoons of lime juice. Place the
tilapia fillets in the pan and bake in a 400 degree F. oven for 30 to 35
minutes, basting occasionally until the tilapia flakes easily. Remove
the tilapia to a serving platter and garnish with thin strips of lime
peel.
Serves 4.
