My menu plan was scheduled for baked cod tonight, but the store did not have any, so I purchased tilapia instead. I rarely cook fish for two reasons: 1) David does not like the way the house smells and 2) ‘R’ does not like most fish or seafood.
But, I ran across this recipe, and one of the comments said that her fish-hating kids love it. Well, the house smells fine, and ‘R’ is eating it and say he like it!
Baked Tilapia
4 boneless tilapia fillets
Italian dressing to cover fillets
2 tsp. garlic powder
large shake of pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1 tablespoon pineapple juice (optional) (I did not use)
fresh carrots cut up into small pieces (optional) (I did use)
Peel and cut carrots while waiting.
Pour fish and dressing mix into a baking dish. Put cut carrots (as many as you like) around the fish. The dressing gives the carrots a great flavor… plus it’s an added bonus to your healthy meal!
Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.
