Do a basil pesto tilapia. It is dirt simple -





get 1 cup pesto


1/3 cup pinenuts


1/3 cup butter


salt %26amp; pepper to taste





Bake or steam - your choice. I like to bake wrapped in parchment paper. Top with parmesan or romano and serve with steamed veggies and a rice pilaf or risotto.
This recipe originally used cod, but I've tossed in tilapia on occasion. Enjoy!





Portuguese Fish Chowder


Serves 4





spray oil


1 bay leaf


2 garlic cloves, minced


1 medium onion, cut into 戮-inch dice


1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice


pinch ground allspice


1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, 1/3 inch thick (no need to peel unless you like them that way)


7 - 8 white mushrooms, sliced (optional)


2 cups fish stock OR chicken stock


1 can diced tomatoes in juice (14陆-ounce can)


录 tsp paprika


salt and black pepper to taste


1 pound skinless cod fillets, pinbones removed


1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped


Garnish with 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped





Heat a heavy pot over medium heat and add the olive oil and bay leaf. As soon as the bay leaf turns brown, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds or until it is golden. Add the onions, bell pepper, and allspice and saute, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until the onions and peppers are softened but not brown.


Add the potatoes, mushrooms, and stock; if the stock doesn't cover the potatoes, add just enough water to cover them. Turn up the heat, bring to a boil, cover, and cook the potatoes vigorously for about 10 minutes, until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center.


Reduce the heat to medium, add the tomatoes and paprika, and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


Remove bay leaf.


Add the whole fillets and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, gently stir in the cilantro, and allow the chowder to sit for 10 minutes. The fish will finish cooking during this time. Check the fish for doneness. NOTE: if your piece of fish is thin, check for doneness SOONER.


Use a slotted spoon to lift the chun ks of fish, tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes in the center of large soup plates or shallow bowls, and ladle the savory tomato broth over. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

I just put it on a microwave safe plate and sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried tarragon, molly mcbutter, and lemon juice. Cook on high for about 3 min, turn over and about another minute should do it. I love it this way and it's really healthy.
