My love for Tilapia continues...

During the summer months we live a very relaxed lifestyle.  My boys stay out until dark with their friends riding skate boards and bikes.  We usually eat dinner together as a family but during these two very lazy months we unplug and eat at our leisure.  It works for us and my older two are more than capable of making a sandwich or turkey wrap for themselves.  While they are more than fine with a turkey wrap or cereal for dinner this mamma needs some tasty nourishment.  I have discovered individually wrapped frozen Tilapia.  It defrosts in your sink in a matter of 5 minutes with a little hot water run over it.  I purchased my Tilapia with the bag marked "Best Aquaculture Practices Certified".  This insures that your fish was farmed using safe practices and was monitored by the powers that be.  I would suggest that you look for the same.

Here is what I ate yesterday and while it is super healthy...it is also super delicious!

Tomato Baked Tilapia with Brown Rice and Zucchini Saute


Tomato Baked Tilapia

4-6 oz tilapia filet
Cajun Seasoning
2-3 med cut slices of fresh tomato
2 small cloves garlic minced
Organic Olive oil spray

Set your oven to 375.

Spray your tilapia with the olive oil spray and lightly season with cajun seasoning on the top and bottom of fish.  Spread the minced garlic evenly on top of fish and then top with the tomato slices.  Spray the entire fish once again with a mist of olive oil.  Place in 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes.  Once fish it cooked it should be moist and flaky.

Zucchini Sautee'
( I shred 2 zucchini just for myself)

2 med to large zucchini washed
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 med onion sliced thin
Organic Olive Oil Spray
Kosher salt

Use a julienne tool or food processor attachment and julienne the zuchinni.  Mince the garlic and slice the onion.  Spray a non stick pan with organic olive oil.  Saute the onion and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.  Once the onions get a bit of browning add the garlic and if you need spray the pan again with olive oil spray.  Once the onion and garlic are browned add the julienned zucchini.  Let the zucchini cook down and get a bit of browning going on.  Season with kosher salt.

This is how I serve it:   1/2 cup brown rice.  Top with the zucchini saute and top with the roasted fish.

Enjoy!
