Tilapia

Today I am thankful for . . .

803.  The gift of Huge Stalks of Rhubarb, given to me by my co-worker.  For some reason my rhubarb produced virtually nothing this year, so this was a wonderful blessing.

804.  The gift of A Delicious Supper--you'll never guess what was on our menu tonight--fish.  And I am saying it was delicious?  Not the norm for me, but I can do Tilapia in a Basil Cream Sauce any day.

805.  The gift of Hearing My Son, Ty, read aloud.

Well done Kimmy! Fish! Now you need to try Basa which is quite similar to Tilapia!

Rain, I have tried Basa but I don't like it as much.

We really enjoy this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/broiled-tilapia-parmesan/ I often make little "baggies" of the mixture (withholding the mayo, which doesn't freeze well) and put them in my freezer in dinner quantity sizes (enough for 4 servings). We buy frozen tilapia fillets at Costco and I can package 4 fish with 1 pkg. of topping, which makes dinner prep super easy...just stir in the mayo before placing it on the tilapia.

Okay, I just double checked the recipe I linked you to. My version looked the same, but is definitely different.

1/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. celery salt
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Panko Japanese-style bread crumbs (usually found in the ethnic food aisle)
4 frozen tilapia fillets

I just mix and spread the topping onto the frozen fillets, then bake them at 400 for 25 to 30 minutes in a 9x13 pan.

Thanks for the recipe suggestion, Michelle. I'm going to try that sometime.
