Thai Tilapia

Name: Thai Tilapia
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups cooked rice; 1/3 cup chopped green onions; 1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper; 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil; 2 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each); 1 cup fresh snow peas; 1/3 to 1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce

You can take a taste trip to Asia even on a hectic weeknight with this no-fuss fish dish developed by our Test Kitchen. The sauce adds a mellow, peanutty flavor and a bit of a kick.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups cooked rice
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
2 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1 cup fresh snow peas
1/3 to 1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce

Directions

Prepare grill for indirect heat. Combine the rice, onions, red pepper and basil; place on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 15 in. square). Top with the tilapia, snow peas and peanut sauce. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

This recipe was not at all good. The fish was mushy and did not have a good flavor. I really like thai and I like to cook in foil on my grill, but would never do this recipe again.

This is a great and delicious recipe. I used Uncle Ben's 90 seconds-Wild Rice (microwave) then followed the recipe. I baked it in a counter top oven at 475, but it did take about 35-40 minutes to bake. Mmmmmm Good!!!!

This sounds like a great recipe to try. Can't find Thai peanut sauce is my small store so could some one tell me if there is a recipe to make my own. Thank you very much

My husband said "Thanks for dinner. That was very good!"I fixed this on the stove, stir-frying the veggies and then pouring in the sauce to heat through. I fried this fish in canola oil in another skillet and fixed the rice according to package directions. I served it as a bed of rice with the fish on top and the veggie sauce poured over it. Very simple and quick!
