Jana: Honey Lime Tilapia

Drop everything, and put this on your meal plan this week!!

We've been trying to add a couple of fish recipes into our regular dinner routine. However, I am not a huge fan of "fishy fish," so I've been on the lookout for recipes with lots of flavor. When I ran across this recipe for Honey Lime Tilapia, it seemed to fit the bill. Quick, just a few ingredients, and flavorful!

Honey Lime Tilapia (adapted from One Lovely Life)

For marinade:

• 2-4 defrosted tilapia filets
• 1 lime or 1/2 cup of lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoon of honey
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder

For dredging and cooking:

• 1/2 cup of flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Combine lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a Ziploc bag.
Add fish filets, and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Just before cooking, combine flour, pepper, and Tony's in a shallow bowl.
Lightly covered both side of the fish filets with the flour mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. When shimmering, add fish filets. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned.

To complete our meal, I served the tilapia filets with white sweet potato fries, sauteed green beans, and fresh rolls. Everything was so yummy... it was difficult to decide which bite to take next. I will definitely be making this again!!
