Talapia Recipe
Everyone gives such great recipes to keep our meals interesting. I thought I would give you all my latest obsession. I love love love it. I have eaten it nearly everyday, and have talapia thawing right now to make more. I found it on Allrecipes.com
Hudson's Baked Talapia with Dill Sauce
4-1oz talapia fillets (I used 6)
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning or to taste (I used creole seasoning)
1 lemon. thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayo (I used low fat)
1/2 sour cream (I used plain yougurt, or could use FF sour cream)
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (I used at least 1 Tbsp. maybe more)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam.
Season the Talapia with salt and pepper and cajun seasonings on both sides.
Arrange in a single layer in the baking dish.
Place a lyer of lemon slices over the fish fillets. I used 2 slices on each fillet so most
of the fish was covered.
Baked uncovered for 15-20 min. or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, mix together the other ingredients.
Spoon sauce over the fish to serve.
I took the lemon slices off before adding the sauce when eating. I made the sauce a day in advance so the flavors could mix. I did splurge and get fresh dill, made all the difference in the taste. I kept taste tasting the sauce to get the lemon right. Squeezed some lemon, tried it, squeezed some more, tried it etc. to get just the right amount to my taste. The fish has a pretty big bite from the cajun seasoning, but was nicely tempered with the cool of the sauce! Perfect. I did add 1/2 tsp. of melted real butter to the pan before laying the fish down, for a touch of flavor, but dont think it made a difference. I will leave out the butter next time. WOW, was this ever good! Enjoy! Lauri
