Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen Sea Cuisine Garlic & Herb Tilapia and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and flaky. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Whisk in coconut cream, vegetable stock, and lemon juice. If using, add white cooking wine. Let mixture bubble, stirring well.
  4. Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce and whisk for 1-2 minutes until it thickens. Fold in chopped kale and lemon slices, simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower heat to low, return tilapia to skillet, ensuring it's coated with sauce. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to absorb flavors.
  6. Serve tilapia over basmati rice, spoon sauce on top, and garnish with lemon wedges or fresh herbs.
