Fish Dinner
When I want to make something quick and light, I typically turn to salad or fish. Tonight, it's fish! The whole dinner probably takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, including thawing the fish.
Actually, it takes longer to get the 5-year-old to eat her veggies than it does to prepare this!
Served 2 and a half
(2 Adults, 1 5-year-old)
Ingredients
5 peices of Tilapia, thawed* (or fresh, if you're lucky enough to get a hold of it)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (I used California Blend)
1-2 tsp Goya's Sazonador Total seasoning blend
2 tablespoons butter
1 tsp olive oil
1 loaf of french bread, sliced in half
2-4 cloves of garlic, chopped or minced
1 tablespoon chopped parsely
1/4 cup butter
Place frozen veggies in a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp Goya seasoning and 1 tbsp butter. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, till veggies are soft and water is cooked off.
Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet to medium/medium-high, heat 1 tbsp butter with the olive oil until hot enough to sizzle when you add a drop of water. Add fish, sprinkle Goya seasoning over. Cook about 5-7 minutes per side, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and gets little crispy bits on the edges (thats my fav part!).
Mix 1/4 cup butter with garlic and parsley, spread over bread halves. Place under hot broiler for 5 or 6 minutes until bread crisps and butter melts. Watch closely, it burns fast! Slice as soon as its cool enough to handle.
Serve fish, veggies and bread all together, family style. <3 Nom.
*To thaw the fish, simply plug your sink and fill about 1/4 way with room temperature tap water. Add the fish packets in. It'll be thawed in less than 10 minutes. You could also do this in a large bowl or container.
