Units
Scale
- 1 lb tilapia fillet (I used 4 frozen fillets)
- 1 lb yellow potatoes
- 12 oz carrots
- 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups water
- olive oil, salt and pepper
- 2 tsps Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Thaw fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Brush fish with olive oil. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper on each fillet.
- Lay prepared fish fillets in a baking dish without overlap. Bake for 14 minutes.
- While fish is baking, add chicken broth and water in a large sauce pan and bring to a rapid boil.
- Peel and chop up carrots and potatoes. Place them in the boiling broth, then reduce heat to medium-high. Cover to cook for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Transfer vegetables and just enough broth into a blender, add cilantro and onion, and blend for 10 seconds or until smooth. Now you’ve made a wholesome chowder base.
- Return chowder base into the same sauce pan.
- Use a fork to break cooked fish into small pieces and transfer fish pieces into the chowder base.
- Add Old Bay Seasoning and stir well. Simmer for 5 more minutes over medium heat.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
