Ingredients

2 lb white fish fillets (4 big fillets approx.), (such as Basa or tilapia or any white fish fillet of your liking)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Clamato® Original flavor
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons lime zest
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425º F (218º C).
Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent and fragrant. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute, constantly stirring to avoid burning.
Add Clamato®, evaporated milk, cornstarch, lime juice, and lime zest; mix to combine. Cook for 5 - 6 minutes, frequently stirring, until sauce thickens a little. Place fish fillets over the sauce.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped parsley (if using). Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as rice or mashed potatoes , or cauliflower rice.

Notes

STORE cooled leftover fillets in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

REHEAT: Arrange the fillets in a baking dish and cover them with foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through. The fish’s texture may be less moist after storing and reheating.

If you’re using a meat thermometer, insert it sideways into the thickest part of the fillet. The temperature should be 145°F.
