Seasoned Fish, It's what's for Dinner!

This meal uses two of my most needed ingredients to stay on track.  One of the biggest staples in my house to keep me full, and fill my protein needs is tilapia. The other ingredient I could not live without, that makes my tastebuds feel satisfied is 21 Seasoning Salute from Trader Joe's.  It's $1.99 a bottle, and I put it on EVERYTHING. Fish, Chicken, Veggies, Ice Cream...ok not ice cream.  But it really adds flavor to a lot of meals.

I buy a large package of fresh tilapia (about 3lbs) at costco every 1-2 weeks to cook up for meals for my family.  My favorite quick and easy meal for myself is below.  It takes about 10 minutes to put together.

Serves 3: (you can make it stretch to more or less as you wish).  I often put all the fish in a baggie to marinate, and then fry them up 1 filet at a time as I need them.  

Ingredients:

3 - 6 oz tilapia filets

3 garlic cloves - minced

1 Tbsp Honey

1 Tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tsp Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute (or less yummy alternate seasoning of your choice)

1 TBSP Olive Oil (1 tsp each filet for frying)

3 cups asparagus, or a large bunch

1 TBSP Olive Oil for asparagus (optional)

3 TBSP Wonderful Almond Accents

Directions:

1. Pour garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and 21 Seasoning Salute into a gallon sized ziplock bag.

2. Add fish filet, shake around to coat.  Let sit a few minutes to soak up the seasoning.

3. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in frying pan over medium heat.

4. Add Fish, fry about 3 minutes on each side or until cooked throughout.

5. While fish is cooking, steam your asparagus   I plated mine tonight with a Tablespoon of these yummy Almond Accents, a teaspoon of olive oil and some 21 seasoning salute sprinkled on top.

6. Add Fish to plate, serve, and EAT!
