Grilled Fish Sandwich with Homemade Tartar Sauce

January 17, 2012 by Tiffany

Sometimes, when I sit down to write up a recipe post, I can’t find anything to say. This is one of those times.

Because, really, the beauty of this sandwich is that it’s so simple.

Grilled fish that cooks up quick on a George Foreman or other indoor grill.

Cajun seasoning kicks the flavor up a notch or three.

Homemade tartar sauce that is just mayo with a little sweet relish stirred in.

Put it on a bun, serve it with fries and carrot sticks or salad. It’s a little out of the ordinary, but casual and easy enough for a weeknight supper.

Tropical Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa and Coconut Rice – Easy & Special!

September 1, 2011 by Tiffany

This is one of those dinners that tastes special, like you’ve gone to extra trouble.

Good news! This dish is quick to fix. I had it finished in about 30 minutes and that included time to line up ingredients, take photos and jot down my recipe. Not bad.

I did start with another recipe as inspiration. I wasn’t sure what should go into the Pineapple Salsa, so I searched Tasty Kitchen and came up with a recipe for Tropical Chicken and Coconut Rice Bowl. It’s from Katie at The College Culinarian.

I wanted fish instead of chicken, so I turned the marinade into a sauce for the tilapia. And I tweaked her salsa recipe a bit too. The result was delicious!

Garlic Lime Tilapia

November 2, 2010 by Tiffany

Oh my goodness! Please go to your kitchens and make this for dinner tonight. It is soooo delicious. And it’s easy. (If I had a nickel for every time I said that a recipe is easy, I would be rich. Or, at least I’d have an extra 30 cents a week.)

The tilapia is seasoned and cooked in garlic butter with a splash of lime juice. Divine!

Lemon Pepper Tilapia with Veggies on the Grill

June 23, 2010 by Tiffany

I’ve done tilapia in a foil packet before, but this time I wanted to use the grill and more veggies. Instead of making individual packets, I made a large one. The fish and vegetables cooked perfectly in just 15-20 minutes. Even though the foil was charred around the edges, the food didn’t burn at all.

Fish Tacos with Chipotle Dressing

March 26, 2010 by Tiffany

It’s only been very recently that I’ve tasted fish tacos. I’ve ordered them in two different restaurants, but I really wanted to try making them at home. My first search for recipes called for expensive types of fish, like swordfish. I kept looking though, and found a few recipes that use tilapia. I combined the ideas of several recipes to create these and the result is easy and tasty.

Even the kids liked them. At first they were skeptical, but I explained that fish tacos are different from regular tacos. It’s not like you just substitute fish for the hamburger. Low and behold, they tried them and they liked them too! [Read more...]

Tony’s Tilapia

Tony's Tilapia done

Fish is such a fast and super easy thing to fix. Often, when I fix tilapia I grill it on the George Foreman grill, but this time I decided to bake it. Three ingredients and about 20 minutes later I had dinner on the table.
