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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour in the champagne and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the alcohol to cook off for about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the coconut milk, fresh clementine juice, clementine zest, and honey. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Carefully place the seasoned tilapia fillets into the skillet, ensuring they are slightly submerged in the poaching liquid.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently transfer the tilapia fillets to serving plates.
Step 8
Reduce the poaching liquid for 2-3 minutes, if desired, to create a slightly thicker sauce.
Step 9
Spoon the sauce over the tilapia fillets and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
