quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Poppop’s baked Tilapia


This is so easy and so good. We like Tilapia. We always have some in the freezer waiting for us to try a new way of doing it. (Maybe I’m too old for that)

Butter (or olive oil) cooking spray

2 -4 tilapia fillets depends on how hungry your gang is.

Salt and black pepper

1 lime, finely grated zest and juice

2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large cast iron pan or a cookie sheet with Pam..

Rinse fish and pat dry; place on the prepared baking sheet or skillet. Season each fillet with salt, pepper, lime zest and lime juice. Add fish to the pan. Place a pat of butter on each fillet and cook in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Serve with some lime or lemon wedges.

The last time we did this we had string beans with butter, sliced almonds and lemon squeezed on them. Also French fries and some chilled white wine,,,boy it was good!!
