Fish

Wes and I are trying to eat more fish, since its lean and has a lot of good cholesterol, but there are only so many ways to make fish appetizing to me. Not when I could have a juicy steak, you know? But, I have made it a point to serve fish once a week in our house for the past couple of months. Some of the classics are teriyaki salmon, tuna steak, and some kind of marinated mahi.

This week I made chicken piccata on Monday and had to buy a few random ingredients that I wasn't sure I would use again. So, I looked for a fish marinade that would use some of those same things. That is how I discovered this recipe for Tilapia. Tilapia is really mild and cheap, but this is the best fish recipe I have ever cooked!

It looks like it has a lot of ingredients which always scares me away from recipes. (If I have to buy a lot of things, its not cheap anymore and we might as well go out to eat.) The gist is this: you coat the tilapia with mayo (it doesn't take much and you can't taste the mayo at the end). Then you sprinkle an assortment of spices on it. If you don't have all of them, its ok! Then you fry it in a pan. I served it with brown rice and green beans.

There's a part at the end where you add white wine, butter, capers, etc. I did this, but you don't have to. It just makes a sauce to pour over the fish.
