A working woman's guide to keeping fit

I wasn’t the biggest fan of tilapia after a bad experience of it going off slightly, then re-heating it for lunch at the radio station I used to work for. The whole place smelled of fish. The WHOLE place. It was the talk of the station. It put me off tilapia for a long time.

After almost 2 years, I decided to give it another shot and concocted this easy to make recipe. I don’t know about you, but I’ve trawled and trawled (pun intended) recipe sites to find a good easy fish recipe and came up empty handed. So, I came up with my own.

Ingredients

• Tilapia filets (bought at Costco)
• 1 tbsp macadamia or coconut oil
• Chopped coriander, to taste
• Sea salt, to taste
• Garlic and herb seasoning, to taste
• Lemon pepper seasoning, to taste
• Cherry tomatoes, chopped
• Jalapeño, diced
• Green onion, diced

Steps

• Place tilapia filets on paper towel and dab off excess moisture
• Sprinkle one side of filets with lemon pepper, sea salt and garlic & herb seasoning

• Chop coriander, jalapeño and green onions
• Carefully place filets in heated frying pan, seasoned side down
• Season the other side while it’s in the pan

• Throw in coriander, jalapeño and green onions
• When filets start to turn white, carefully flip over and cook through the other side
• Serve immediately or store to eat later – but make sure you eat within a week, you don’t want to end up in the same situation I did (see above story)
