Almond/Cashew Crusted Dijon Mahi Mahi

So I’ve been eating a lot healthier….but I needed to add some crunch to my life lol so I put a twist on my favorite fish, Mahi Mahi.

Grind some of your favorite nuts (pecans, almonds, or cashews) in a blender or food processor. Don’t over do it though…you aren’t trying to make peanut butter.

Get some pretty planks of mahi mahi

Season them to taste. I prefer garlic herb or lemon pepper seasoning.

image

Slather the fish in dijon mustard. Or for a healthier choice (which I chose) use Bolthouse Farms Honey Mustard yogurt dressing.

image

Coat the fish in the nuts.

image

Put a little olive oil in a pan (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan.) Cook fish until a crust forms. It should be brown but not burnt.

Bon appetit!! Yummy!!

Work Dinner for Him: Tequila Lime Tilapia

My hun works overnight. And if it was up to him…his dinner would be a hot pocket and key lime pie lol. So I try to make dinner for him to take to work as often as I can.

First you marinate:

The mixture is my tequila lime marinate: 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, a smidgen of vinegar, a pinch of salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup cilantro

I let it marinate for about an hour then to the skillet it goes!

Lemon Bathed Tilapia and Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe

Step one: Melt butter

Step two: Add your spices. I used lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and lemon juice. Mix. This would be a great time to add vegetables such as onion, minced garlic, or peppers. I was being a bit lazy today so I didn’t add vegetables.

Step three: Put the tilapia in a plastic bag and add your homemade marinade. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the fish can soak up all the juices

Step four: While we wait for the fish to marinate…it’s salad time. I used spinach and topped it with sliced strawberries.

Step five: Back to the fish. Spray the bottom of your skillet (I used Pam) or use a nonstick skillet because easily sticks to the pan. Place the fish in the pan. Cook on a medium heat (6 out of 10). Flip as few times as possible so that the fish does not fall apart.

Step six: PLATE IT!!! Make it look pretty! Top tilapia with parsley and top salad with dressing (I used balsamic vinaigrette). This is the final result!
