My friend Kelley turned me on to Tilapia and we eat a lot of it! You can buy it frozen (and farmed right) at Costco, pretty inexpensive. Nathan cooked up this recipe and it is a fabulous way to zip up a piece of fish!
Nathan’s Spicy Tilapia Recipe
Ingredients
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
One or Two Frozen Tilapia Filets
Garlic Powder
Paprika
Ground Cayenne Pepper
Ground Black Pepper
Hot Sauce
Sliced Almonds
Apple Juice
Spinach
Lemon Slice
Directions
Thaw the filets in warm water and strain. Wash spinach and drain (or spin it out.) Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and fish. Lightly dust the fish with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Add a few dashes of the hot sauce to both fish and pan.
When the fish is cooked on one side (half way through the filet), flip it, add sliced almonds, and dust very lightly with powdered/ground spices again. Add enough apple juice to the pan (not fish) to get it simmering and reduce.
