Cookbook:Baked Tilapia with White Wine

Ingredients

 * 2 fresh whole tilapia, approximately 8–10 oz each, gutted and descaled
 * ¼ pint medium white wine
 * 1–2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
 * 4 tablespoons freshly-chopped mixed herbs
 * 6 salad onions, diagonally sliced
 * Salt
 * Freshly-ground black pepper
 * ½ oz butter
 * 1 teaspoon cornstarch, blended with a little cold water
 * 2 tablespoons creme fraiche

Procedure

 * 1) Arrange the tilapia side-by-side in a lightly oiled roasting tin or ovenproof dish.
 * 2) Pour the wine over the fish, then sprinkle over the chopped garlic, most of the herbs, the salad onions, and seasoning to taste. Place half the butter on each fish.
 * 3) Cover with a sheet of lightly oiled foil to seal in the fish, then bake in a preheated 350°F oven, for 30–35 minutes.
 * 4) Transfer the tilapia to a serving dish and keep warm. Pour the juices into a pan, stir in the blended corn flour, and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the creme fraiche.
 * 5) Pour the sauce over the fish, and serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining herbs.
