Pineapple Chipotle Tilapia

Oh my goodness...this was fantastic if I do say so myself. It's a spin on "Tilapia in Ten" posted previously with a Caribbean twist using Tastefully Simple Pineapple Chipotle Salsa. Super easy, very low cal...what more can you ask for?

Olive Oil

Place a bit of the olive oil in a pan with a lid. Bring heat up, insert fish fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, turn. Add about 3/4 of a cup of Pineapple Chipotle Salsa. Place lid on and poach until fish is flaky and cooked through (about 5 more minutes.) Serve with Basmati rice and black beans.

I think a meatier fish like Mahi Mahi or Doro would also be yummy- and you could always do black beans and yellow rice with it as well- Vigo has an excellent pre-packaged product that is ready in 30 minutes- you just add it to boiling water with a bit of olive oil.

Talapia in Ten

Ok...all of my busy mommy friends out there (and those few special daddies who cook...) Here's an easy recipe (and meal) for you: Does your family like fish? Even if they're not crazy about fish, Tilapia is very mild and friendly to most palates (my two-year-old loves Tilapia!) Put a bit of olive oil in a pan that has a lid (medium-high heat). Place your Tilapia fillets in the olive oil for about 2 minutes. Add some salt and pepper. Turn the fillets. Add a can of diced tomatoes (for those of you who like a bit of spice, Rotel works great here). Feeling adventuresome? Add a can of sliced black (and green if you like) olives for a Mediterranean flair…maybe even some diced red onion. Turn the fillets, cover, and let poach for about 4 more minutes. Serve with Uncle Ben’s 90-second microwave quick rice (the wild rice one is really nice with fish) and frozen broccoli (finished in the microwave in about 4 minutes) There you have it- a nice meal in a hurry! Don't tell your family....bonus- it’s HEALTHY- low cal and low fat!
