TILAPIA WITH STRAWBERRY-THYME SAUCE

Tilapia with Strawberry-Thyme Sauce image

Here's a delicious way to welcome spring. I like to serve the tilapia with polenta and a blend of leeks and green onions that I've roasted in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. And definitely add a bit of bacon or blue cheese: It lends a hint of saltiness to contrast with the sweet and tangy sauce.
