I make tilapia all the time. It’s relatively cheap, hard to screw up, and pretty healthy, too. I generally bake it in foil with some lemon, halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper, which is pretty reliable but boring. Last night, I decided to throw Drew the curve ball of his life and top the fish with a spicy sauce before popping them in the oven.
This dish has a substantial kick (for those of you who aren’t used to eating jalapeños), and it was a welcome change from our routine. Also, in the moment—you know, THE moment when the person you’ve cooked for mentally registers whether this dish is a keeper or disgusting—Drew did the bug-eyed smile thing. It’s a keeper, people.
Tip: Pour your leftover coconut milk into ice cube trays, freeze, and store in a plastic bag for future use.
Word of caution: Don’t be a fool and touch your face after de-seeding a jalapeño You’ve been watching Food Network for 10 years. You know better.
the history of ever 
Made this last night! It was delightful!
Adding this to my MUST MAKE ASAP list immediately. We’re tilapia nuts in this house, too.
