Italian Dressed Tilapia

So we decided to give running another try...we haven't been since the last time and I think if we keep it up it is bound to get easier. In addition to being able to run longer we might actually drop some post-wedding lbs.  Neither one of us was really hungry but we couldn't go without dinner so I threw together a miniature version of a delicious and healthy dinner. It was probably a good thing that we weren't that hungry because we have gotten down to our last tiny little Tilapia filet and since we are married we split it (I was generous and gave him the bigger half). It came out really good and it  was super easy!

Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Yields: 1 Serving or 2 Mini Servings

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Tilapia Filet (Thawed)
  • 1/2 TSP Butter
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 TBSP Italian Salad Dressing

PREPARATION:

Heat the butter over med heat, salt and pepper both sides of the filet and put into pan. Add the Italian Dressing and let cook for 3-4 minutes per side.

We had some leftover white rice from a previous dish so I tossed it into the pan with some italian dressing, salt and pepper until it was heated.

TO SERVE:

We split the Tilapia and served it with some quick steamed broccoli and the dressed up white rice. I then sprinkled some shaved parmesan cheese over top of everything... MMMmmm!!




SOME HELPFUL TIPS:
  • Obviously if you need to make more, than make adjustments to the recipe.
  • Use a smaller plate, smaller fork and it will appear as though there is more food than is actually there.
