Lucky Fish

I have had this recipe bookmarked from Cara’s blog for some time now, but just now got around to trying it. Even though her pictures look WAY different than mine, it was really good. I think she used the “sprinkly” parmesan cheese and I used the kind that comes in the tub!? Not sure! Regardless, it was yum! The fish just crumbled apart when we put it on top of our rice! And, the green bell peppers made it fun for our St. Patty’s Day meal! :)  Tilapia Bake

4 tilapia filets
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup chopped onions
1 green {or red} bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup {1 stick} butter, melted
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350.  Spread the onions & peppers in a 13x9 baking dish. Season the fish with salt & pepper and place on top. Pour the butter on top of the fish and then sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Bake for 25 minutes {or until cooked through}.  Remove from oven & sprinkle fish with parmesan cheese.

Place under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese browns.  Remove from dish and serve peppers & onions on top of fish. Serve on bed of white rice.

Outside of the {Chicken} Box

Last night I went out on a limb and made something that I wouldn't typically make, and it was SO yummy! I think it would be good with chicken too! And, I feel that it would be a great thing to serve when having friends over. It seems fancy and is super easy!

Tilapia Tostadoas with Chili-Lime Cream Sauce

Ingredients
1 lb. fresh tilapia
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 lime, halved
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
6-inch tostada shells
2 cups shredded cabbage mix
1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and sliced (optional)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (optional)



Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill fish until flakes with a fork. (I used the George Forman) Break into chunks. Place on top of tostada shell. Top with chili-lime cream (see recipe for that below). Then add cabbage, avocado and tomatos. Squirt with lime for extra yumminess! :)


Chili-Lime Cream
In bowl squeeze 2 teaspoons juice from half the lime. Stir in sour cream, garlic powder, and remaining chili powder; set aside. Cut remaining lime half in wedges for serving.
