Easy Curried Tilapia

Ingredients:

• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic if on hand)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 2 thawed tilapia or other whitefish fillets

Directions:

1. Thaw 2 fillets in your fridge the night before, (or use the recommended quick thaw method on the package).
2. Saute the diced onion and bay leaf in a 2 quart pot in 1-2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat. When the onion starts to get transparent, add the curry powder.
3. Turn with a spatula for a minute. Add the garlic powder and cayenne pepper, and stir again. Pour in the can of coconut milk and bring to a boil.
4. Add salt to taste. Add the thawed fish fillets, and bring the flame down to medium-low, and cook for 10+ minutes with the cover on, checking the fish after 10 minutes.
5. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Serve the curry over hot brown instant Minute Rice.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Notes: Buy a package of Frozen tilapia that has the individual fillets wrapped separately inside the larger bag. I get my spices in the Spanish section of the supermarket. The "Badia" brand of spices is just as good as the McCormick and other brand names, but is about 1/2 to 1/3 the price.
