Tilapia with Cilantro Cream Sauce

Tilapia (or Salmon) with Cilantro Cream Sauce
(or use other white fish)
Serves 4

1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillets
1 Tbsp melted butter
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, finely minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 Tbsp white winegar
Salt and pepper, to taste

Rice (brown and wild rice are my favorite), cooked
Vegetables (such as green beans, yellow squash, carrots, red pepper), in small cubes and cooked

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; saute the garlic and onion for 1 to 2 minutes.  Add cream and bring to a simmer.  Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes to reduce slightly.  Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.  Simmer for about 1 minutes longer.  Set aside or refrigerate until nearly serving time.

Heat oven to 375.  Line a baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Brush fillets lightly with butter; arrange in baking pan.  Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.  Bake the fish for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through.

Arrange rice on plate.  Place fish and vegetables on top.  Drizzle with cream sauce.
