Tilapia is loved for its tender, lean meat, and for its ability to be served with a variety of sauces, as it doesn't have a strong, overpowering flavor. For example, you can bake tilapia in the oven with a delicious South Asian sauce made with coconut milk, cilantro, and the Indian spice garam masala. A touch of fresh ginger, garlic, and jalapeño peppers add a piquant, slightly spicy flavor. In less than half an hour, you'll have a fragrant fish in an exotic sauce. Serve with brown or jasmine rice.
