last night I pulled out some frozen tilapia fillets for dinner and remembered seeing this recipe last month on Serious Eats.

lo and behold, I had everything the recipe called for in the pantry (made more likely by the fact that the ingredient list for the sauce is only 7 ingredients long) and, even better, you throw everything in the blender, pour it over the fish and bake 8-10 minutes. it doesn't get much easier than that.

my only notes for next time are that I will listen to the recipe and seed the jalepeno (I like things spicy, but this was nose-running hot, bordering on the sweat) and maybe use a larger sheet pan - the recipe called for one just large enough to fit the fish and the sauce didn't reduce and carmelize enough. I ended up pouring it off into a saucepan and reducing it on the stove.
