Welcome to my collection of some of my favorite dishes that have come out of our kitchen. I hope you enjoy the blog and try some of the recipes!

Tilapia with Zucchini, Squash, Peppers and Onions

This has become one of my favorite dishes lately.  Because I am cooking the fish and veggies at the same time, the whole cooking time takes about 20 minutes with about 10 minutes of prep time, depending on how quickly you cut your vegetables. 



The Veggies - serves 4
1 zucchini (sliced thin)
1 yellow squash (sliced thin)
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (sliced)
1 green pepper (sliced) set aside 2 or 3 slices for tilapia
1 red pepper (sliced) set aside 2 or 3 slices for tilapia
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Tilapia - serves 2
2 4oz thawed tilapia filets
1/2c Italian Bread Crumbs (I like Progresso)
1 Tbsp McCormicks' Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic
2 or 3 slices of green pepper slices diced
2 or 3 slices of red pepper slices diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4c white wine
salt & pepper to taste

Brown Rice - I use Instant Brown Rice because well...it's instant.  And I follow the directions on the box for this one. 


Veggies - 20 minutes
1.  Prepare the zucchini, squash, onions, peppers and garlic.  Heat olive oil in a saute pan and add the veggies. 
2.  Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste and saute the veggies on medium heat until they are tender.  The onions, zucchini and squash will be soft and translucent. 

Tilapia - 10 minutes
1.  Prepare the tilapia.  In a small dish, mix the bread crumbs and seasoning.  Place a tilapia filet in the dish and press into the bread crumbs.  Turn over and press the other side.  Repeat for all tilapia filets.
2.  Heat the olive oil on medium heat and add the onions and peppers.  Saute until tender.  Remove the peppers and onions from the pan.
3.  Place the tilapia filets in the same pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of the filet) 
4.  When the tilapia is finished, remove it from the pan and add the peppers and onions back to the pan.  Add the wine and simmer for a few minutes, stirring the peppers and onions with the wine. 
5.  Top the tilapia with the peppers/onions wine sauce.

Serve with brown rice and a glass of white wine, if you'd like!
