Spicy Louisiana Tilapia Fillets with Sautéed Veggie Relish

October 18, 2011 /

I am here to inform you that Kristin’s wedding was a blast! She was just the prettiest bride and everything seemed to go so very smoothly for her. I am so happy for her! 😀

Patrick and I had a great time! We definitely enjoyed all the food and danced the entire night which is always a good time. I promised that I would show a picture of my dress so here it is!

I personally think the best part of my outfit was my hair…I went to get it done at my salon for the first time for a wedding. I NEVER do that, don’t ask why because I am sure I can’t give you a good reason for it haha. I had her do a messy bun type thing and I was happy with it…what do you think?

The best part about weddings is seeing everyone so happy but one thing that EVERYONE looks at is the cake, so I just had to share that as well with you all. I love looking at wedding cakes, don’t you? (I am sure the entire male audience that reads this just tuned out…err wait, was that back when I mentioned hair? hehe 😉 )

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you guys I know I promised you all some pictures so there ya go! If you want to check out more feel free to stop by Book of Faces. They are on there too.

The recipe I am going to share with you is something I whipped up in a pinch because Patrick and I wanted to have fish but I had no idea what kind of fish to make. My fail safe fish is always tilapia, you can do so many things with it. So, I went to Cooking light to find something, which I allllways do. Love Cooking light! So here it is…enjoy!

Adapted from Cooking Light’s recipe here.

Ingredients for Fish:

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 green bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium sized onion
  • 3-4 small tomatoes
  • 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons Louisiana hot sauce (any kind of hot sauce will do here really)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray and add in your veggies. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Remove from your pan.

Coat pan again with cooking spray. Also coat your fish fillets. Add fish into the pan. Cook 2 minutes or until light browned and then turn the fillets over. Add tomato mixture back into the pan, spooning the mixture over and around the fillets. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Or cook the fish to the degree of doneness you desire.

While the fish cooks combine 2 tablespoons of water, hot sauce, thyme, and salt into a small bowl.

Carefully remove your fish and tomato mixture from the pan and place onto a serving platter. Wrap with foil until you are ready to serve. Reduce heat to medium and add hot sauce mixture and about a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook until butter melts. Spoon the butter mixture over fish and tomato mixture.

I served this with some brown rice.

With the small amount of ingredients that this fish has it had an enormous amount of flavor. I was quite pleasantly surprised. This is dish (with the rice) is only 350 calories too! Can’t beat that 🙂

Have a great Tuesday!
