Non-Fishy Fish
I wouldn't say that I "love" fish, but I would call myself a fish "liker". I do eat it as long as it doesn't taste too fishy - hence the "Non-Fishy Fish" title. Fish is a wonderful source of protein and I try and eat it once a week. My favorite fish are tuna, salmon, tilapia and sole and I also enjoy shellfish. I always buy it as fresh as possible as after a couple of days I usually won't touch it. For those who are new to fish - these are mild and I can bet you may even start enjoying fish.
Pan Fried Tilapia with Salsa Verde
(Gluten, Dairy and Soy Free)
Ingredients
1/4 cup Rice Bread Crumbs (Pane Riso)
1/2 tsp Grated Lemon Zest
1 1/2 tsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 large Egg Whites
Non Stick Cooking Spray
1/2 lb Tilapia Fillets
1 Can "Herdez" Green Salsa (can be found at Loblaws, Provigo, etc.)
On a plate with a good rim, or in a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices.
Beat the egg in a medium-sized bowl. Using tongs or a fork, dip each fish fillet first in the beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat the entire fillet, and then lightly shake to remove excess breading.
Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high. When the skillet is hot, add fillets. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until fish is soft and flakes with a fork.
Serves 2 and takes 15 minutes to make. Serve with brown rice, and salad.
