quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Salsa catfish (or Tilapia or whatever)


2 med. size skinned catfish fillets. If you can’t get catfish in your area you could use tilapia and reduce the cooking time to about 5 min. Sea bass or red fish about 8-10 min.
1 ½ - 2 cups picante sauce. Any good salsa of your choice will work. Hardez makes some good ones.
2 cups cooked rice. Or any other carb that you like. More often than not I fry up some thin sliced potatoes and onions in a pan with some olive oil while the fish is cooking.

Heat up a frying pan that is big enough to hold the fish. Add about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Add the fillets. Pour Picante Sauce (or salsa) over the filets. Simmer catfish on low flame for about 20-30 minutes. Reduce the cooking time for other kinds of fish.
Do up your rice or potatoes and the salad while the fish is cooking. Uncle Ben’s or some other kind of prepared rice will be done in time.

SERVE IT UP!! Your good! Don’t forget some good bread, some olive oil for dippin’ and some wine!
