SMOOCH'S LIGHT TILAPIA



Smooch's Light Tilapia image

Ahhhh, I just had to put my zaar name on this one. I finally came up wtih one heck of a recipe, in my opinion and wanted to share it. One night, I was tired of measuring stuff out and trying to find a new way to cook my fish, so I combined some of my favorite flavors and came up with this. I'm thinking I may add a bit of ground red pepper to it too for a bit of a bite. Added: thanks for the great reviews!!! A note, I haven't used the dry garlic lately, as I'm really enjoying the freshly minced. I did try elephant garlic, because I got a ton of it free from a local farmer and it turned out much milder, but I liked it better with regular ol' garlic!

Time 12m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced (the dry, minced garlic is what I have been using when in a hurry)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese (I use veggie parm)
1 dash sea salt
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Rinse tilapia and pat dry.
  • Spray a casserole dish with Pam spray and set fish in it.
  • Sprinkle seasonings over fish in the order they are listed.
  • Place in oven. Cook for 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. I put it on broil the last TINY bit to get the cheese a little browned, but it's good without doing this too.

LIGHT FLAX & OAT BAKED TILAPIA



Light Flax & Oat Baked Tilapia image

I came across a few breading/coating recipes online that used alternatives to flour. I've tweaked them a bit to come up with this, to add some more flavour and improve the texture. I'm happy with the results, a simple tasty fish with healthy ingredients and low fat. You could add whatever herbs or spices you like to the flax & oat base. I use my 'magic bullet' for this and it works really well! (have to justify that purchase after all!) Don't try to over coat these, it won't crisp up because there intentionally isn't much oil in this recipe. If your diet doesn't permit eggs you could omit them. Tilapia is quite wet anyway, the coating will still stick, of course not quite as well but I've tried it and it works. Serve this with #216546, brown rice and spaghetti squash for a healthy meal!

Time 50m

Yield 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs tilapia fillets (8-9 fillets, each one cut in half)
2 egg whites
1 cup rolled oats (not quick, just regular rolled oats)
6 tablespoons flax seed meal (or add whole flax seeds, they will grind up)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to your taste)
spritz oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Put all the dry ingredients into your magic bullet or blender (from oats to pepper in the list), and process until you have a smooth texture.
  • Get 2 large bowls out, add the egg whites to one bowl, whisk them up a bit. Add the coating mixture to the other bowl.
  • Using one hand, add about half of your tilapia to the egg white bowl, mix it up to coat them all. With your other hand, coat each filet one by one in the flax/oat mixture, getting it even on each side and both ends. Transfer to an oiled baking sheet. Do same with the second half of the filets. You may need a second cookie sheet depending on the size.
  • Spritz the top of the filets with oil if you like (ie with an oil sprayer or store bought oil spray).
  • Bake on 375 for about 20 minutes, flipping them half way through. Alternatively you could broil 3-4 minutes per side. Serve 2 pieces per person, with sauce on the side. Enjoy!
