Meat-Less Fridays: Recipe for Easy Meals

3/19/2010

0 Comments

 
You know what time it is...Friday!  Today's meat-less meal is a really easy, really tasty one that has several great variations!  This recipe is designed for the grill, but you can do the exact same thing inside in the oven (in case it is raining, or just unpleasant outside!)

Marci's Grilled Tilapia with Lemon Herb Sauce
and Grilled Vegetables

Serves 4

Ingredients:
4 Tilapia Fillets (Catfish is equally good!)
Non-stick oil cooking spray
2 Lemons, exteriors scrubbed cleaned and rinsed
1/2 Teaspoon Dill
1/2 Teaspoon Rosemary
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Thyme
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Sage
1/2 Tablespoon Parsley Flakes
Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
Olive Oil
Your Choice of Vegetables: Bell Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Zucchini, Tomatoes, Squash, Jalapenos

Heat your grill medium-high heat, around 350 degrees.  Make sure you have an area/zone that doesn't have high flames.  Cut all of the vegetables into 1/2" - 1" bite size chunks and thread them onto skewers.  Drizzle Olive Oil over the skewered vegetables and sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper.  Place on grill, rotating often to make sure they aren't getting burned.  Rinse the Tilapia fillets.  Take 2 large pieces of tinfoil, lay one on top of the other and fold up all four sides, you are making a boat for the fish and sauce, make sure you seal the sides together really well, you don't want your sauce to leak out all over the grill.  If you have large fillets, you may want to make 2 boats and put 2 fillets in each (you will have to pick up and transfer the boat.)  Spray tinfoil with non-stick cooking spray.  Place Tilapia in tinfoil boat.  Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, then sprinkle all of the herbs over the fillets, flip them over and season the other side.  Slice the two lemons in half, squeeze lemon juice over all of the fillets, after you have done this cut the lemons into slices and place all over and around the fish in the boats.  Place the tinfoil boat onto the hot grill, and cook (lid on) until the fish is white, totally opaque and flaky (I am not putting a cooking time, because it varies by grill and temperature.)  Carefully remove tinfoil boat and discard lemon slices (save a few for garnish if you wish.)  Plate fish, spoon extra sauce over the Tilapia, and serve with grilled vegetables on the side.  Enjoy!
