Fish, my cooking nemesis – Marisa, Administrator, Bariatric Eating Support Group on Facebook
In deciding which of Susan Maria’s recipes to I wanted to try my hand at first, I lingered over the fish recipes. Fish… fish… ugh FISH!
Fish has always been hard for me in both in being unsure how to cook it or just finding it plain boring. This recipe is anything but boring. Tilapia is a very light and mild fish. I found nice big clean filets from the fish and seafood counter and they were $4.99 a pound! Pair that with an amazing sauce like this Green Chili Crema, which I literally wanted to sit and eat with a spoon by itself, and you have a marvelous meal. So here is my first try at a fish meal!
