drunken tilapia
Tilapia's a tasty, inexpensive, and quick-fix white fish and one that's calorie-friendly to boot. I came across this recipe ages ago while trying to find something quick and easy to serve as a main course alongside our homegrown asparagus, and have fixed it any number of times. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the original source to link directly to the recipe. However, it's so good (and simple!) I wanted to share so that the recipe could be enjoyed and not lost. I hope you like it as much as my family has.

4Goes well with asparagus and rice pilaf. Both fresh parsley and fresh microgreens work well as a garnish. I've also served the fish on a bed of fresh microgreens, and it's delicious that way, too.
