Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the frozen Sea Cuisine Garlic & Herb Tilapia and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the tilapia to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  2. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 4-6 minced garlic cloves to the remaining oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the dried herbs and seasonings, stir for 30 seconds, then pour in 14 oz. of full-fat coconut milk and ½ cup of vegetable or seafood stock. Allow the mixture to bubble for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Slowly pour into the skillet, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Add 1 cup of chopped organic kale and thin lemon slices, simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low, add seared tilapia back into the skillet, and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Serve warm over fluffy basmati rice, garnish with freshly grated dairy-free parmesan cheese if desired.
