Jana: Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia

Here's another "not-so-fishy" fish recipe that has become a favorite around here. [Here's another.] This one has been a hit from Day One. And, it's so quick... perfect for a week night.

Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia

[adapted from Martha Stewart]

Time: 10 minutes prep, 15 minutes on the stove

Servings: 2, or more with additional filets

Ingredients:

• 2 frozen tilapia filets
• 1/3 cup of white cornmeal
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp Tony Cachere's Creole Seasoning
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salsa, for garnish

Directions:
Mix the cornmeal and spices in a shallow bowl. Dredge each filet, making sure that each side is covered well.

Heat oil in pan. Cook filets in oil until golden brown... about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Top with a dollop of salsa, and serve.

Tonight we paired it with fire-roasted corn and "spicy" beans... I had planned to use black beans, but we were out, and I had to make do with pintos.
