ginger and cilantro baked tilapia

so this looks ah-mazing. the recipe calls for tilapia, but i would probably sub in another mild white fish because tilapia skeeves me out a bit.

2 large tilapia fillets (or similar thin white fish) - about 3/4 pound

1 jalapeno pepper (optional) 
3 garlic cloves
1 inch grated ginger (1 tablespoon) 
2 tablespoons soy sauce 
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Scallions, chopped for garnish
Extra cilantro, to garnish

Heat the oven to 475ºF. Pat the fish dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a glass baking dish.

Chop the pepper and garlic, and grate the ginger. Put in a small food processor with the soy sauce, white wine, sesame oil, and cilantro. Whir until blended. Pour the sauce over the fish, rubbing it in a little. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through. It will be very moist and gelatinous, still.

Serve immediately over brown rice, garnished with scallions and cilantro.
