Tilapia and Basil Pasta

May 3, 2011 By

It’s that time again, time for me to eat fish!  I am not a fish fan; however, it’s good for you so I try to eat it regularly.  My goal is to make it taste the least like fish as possible!

This is a simple dish that gives a nice, pleasant taste to fish.  I used tilapia; however, any white fish would work for this meal.

I used my Basil Fish recipe to make the fish, then I stuck with the basil theme to make the pasta.

I used 1/2 Lb angel hair pasta, cooked as instructed on the package.  After draining the pasta, return to the pot and add in 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil and 1/2 Tbsp of Chopped Basil.  I mixed this well and served along side my basil fish.  The chopped basil gives the pasta a stronger flavor while the fish has a very subtle flavor.

I served this dish with broccoli on the side and we had  nice, healthy fish dinner.

Enjoy!

This is a simple way to give fish a little flavor!

  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 4 Tsp Fat Free Zesty Italian Dressing

Using 2 small bowls, put the eggs in one bowl, and the bread crumbs in the other. Then, dip fillet in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Place each fillet on a foil lined baking dish. Top each fillet with 1 tsp of Italian dressing.

Basil Fish with Hush Puppies

November 5, 2010 By

It is that time again, the time I force myself to eat fish!  This fish tasted very good and well flavored.

Basil Fish with Hush Puppies

Ingredients:

  • 4 6oz White Fish Fillets (I used Tilapia), Thawed
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Tsp Dried Sweet Basil

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400*.

Start by melting the butter in a microwave safe dish. I put this in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Mix the oil into the butter. Using a foil lined pan, place each fillet on the pan. Pour the butter mixture over the top of the fish, then sprinkle each fish with about 1 Tsp of Basil. This will cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until the fish can be easily flaked with a fork.

As a side with this dish I made garlic coated vegetables that I let simmer on the stove with garlic powder and olive oil.

I also made Vicki’s Hush Puppies from AllRecipes. These were incredibly easy, I was amazed at how well they turned out.  They were definitely a great addition to this dish!

Rosemary Tilapia

October 14, 2010 By

I am learning to come up with all different combination of spices and ingredients for fish.  My goal is to make it taste the least like fish as possible!

Rosemary Tilapia

Ingredients:

  • 4 6oz Tilapia Fillets
  • 4 Tbsp of Italian Dressing
  • 2 Tsp of Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp of Rosemary

Directions:

In a skillet, I cooked 2 tilapia fillets at a time. I poured 2 Tbsp of Italian dressing in the skillet, then put the fillets in. Once the fillets were in I sprinkled 1 Tsp of garlic salt and 1/4 Tbsp of Rosemary over the fillets. I repeated this for the next 2 fillets. These will cook until easily flaked with a fork, usually takes me 5-7 minutes on each side.

I have found that I really love tilapia cooked in the skillet, so this is now my preferred method.

Catfish Nuggets

October 8, 2010 By

My husband decided to get back into the kitchen a few days ago and make some fried catfish.  We found this Crunchy Catfish Nugget recipe on All Recipes that looked perfect to fix for both ourselves and our son.

He did make a few changes after reading the reviews, we noticed it was a common complaint that there was a lack of taste.

Catfish Nuggets

Ingredients:

  • 4 6oz Catfish Fillets
  • 1/2 Cup Dry Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Tsp Lemon Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Egg Substitute
  • 4 Tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice

Directions:

He started off by mixing the bread crumbs, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Then, he mixed the egg substitute and lemon juice in another bowl. He dipped the catfish in the liquid ingredient bowl and then into the dry ingredient bowl. He followed this exactly as the original recipe.

He placed 2 catfish in the skillet with 2 Tbsp of oil, as he was frying this he began to use the spatula to break apart the catfish into small nugget size pieces. He fried this on both sides until the fish was flaky. He repeated these same steps for the next 2 fillets.

This was complimented well with a dipping sauce, we used tarter sauce. We added green beans for a side.

I do not fry food often, so this was a nice treat.  My son also loved it and the nugget size pieces were perfect for him.
