Happy Wednesday! Nothing like 80 degree weather to remind you that spring and summer are right around the corner. I don't know about anyone else, but when it's hot outside I crave light meals - the thought of standing over a hot stove cooking for more than a few minutes is totally unimaginable. The heat also stave's off the appetite so there's nothing better than a fish like talapia for dinner.
Here's what you need:
4 talapia fillets (I buy my talapia at Trader Joe's and it's usually really good; Keith and I each have 2 fillets)
old bay seasoning
1 tsp dry basil
1/2 tsp celery salt
3 tbsp reduced-fat/light mayo
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Preheat broiler. Sprinkle each side of talapia fillets with old bay seasoning and place on cookie sheet. In small bowl, combine mayo, bread crumbs, Parmesan, seasonings, and lemon juice. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Broil talapia for 2 minutes and then flip and broil other side for 2 minutes. Remove talapia from broiler and spread Parmesan mix on one side of fish (the more the better!). Place back in broiler for 2 minutes or until Parmesan starts to brown (don't leave the fish in for too long or else it will become dry, as it cooks very quickly).
This fish is great with steamed asparagus and brown rice. It's simple to make and really tasty.
Bon Appetit!
