I am not a great cook, I’m good when I want to be, but honestly my mind is usually somewhere else and following recipes is really, really hard for me. Any distraction – 3 kids, the dog, a friend, a flower – and boom, we are having “blackened” food again … usually without the Cajan part. So I started making my food simple. Really simple. I wanted healthy and easy.
Ingredients:
- Olive oil
- Whole lemon – 1 per fillet
- Tilapia fillets – enough for each person eating. 1 serving is typically 3 oz
The Cooking Part …
Add olive oil to your pan and heat. When the oil is hot, add your tilapia fillets. Cut lemon in half, and squeeze half over the fillet. Sprinkle some salt and pepper, not too much here. Fry on one side for about 5 minutes. Then flip. It should not take long, but use a fork to make sure the fish is cooked through and flaky. Flip as needed to keep the sides browning but not burning.
What to serve with …
Kale salad with grape tomatoes and rice like I did last week, or serve with any kind of rice or salad you like. I also like my fish with veggies like broccoli, green beans, or potatoes. Enjoy!
