Best Fish Recipe Ever!

So last night I cooked the best fish recipe ever. I don't even really love fish. This is like dinner and dessert. Cook this for anyone and they will literally not be able to say no to you. (take note employees wanting raises, and significant others)

Broiled Tilapia with Sweet Potato Crust & Vanilla Cream Sauce

Two 6 ounce tilapia fillets, seasoned

Filling
3 sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled (14 ounces after cooking)
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger

Crust
3 graham crackers
1 cup roasted pecans
2 tablespoons melted butter

Sauce
5 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fish stock, crab or shrimp stock, or water
Pinch of seafood seasoning or Creole seasoning

Grind the sweet potatoes, juices, butter, salt and ginger together and set aside.
Grind the graham crackers, pecans and butter together.
Cover the fish with the sweet potato mixture, then sprinkle the pecan mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
Broil the fillets until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes.
In a 6 inch skillet, add the cream, vanilla, seafood stock (or water) and seasoning. Bring to a boil and cook for 45 seconds, until the alcohol in the vanilla is gone and the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Pool the sauce on a plate, place the broiled fish fillet on top and serve.
Serves 2
Recipe from Gabrielle and the American Tilapia Association

* The only thing I changed is that I cooked the fish at 350 for 15 minutes and then broiled for 4 min on HIGH. I also added suger to the vanilla sauce to sweeten it. P.S. You don't even need the sauce it's that good! Also, the sweet potatoes could be eaten anytime as a side dish. Hannah loved them!
