Ginger Lime Tilapia
"My husband won't eat fish unless its Tilapia, so I've had to find ways to make it interesting. This is my favorite variation I've done so far. I generally serve this with fresh snow peas or green beans splashed with teriyaki sauce."

My 15 year old boy loved it. A little to much lime for him, but I accidentally cooked it in the lime juice, so next time I won't and I won't sprinkle much on his. Great flavors. -
Tagged for Paprika ~ September 2008 Herb/Spice of the Month in the Gardening Forum ~ The combination of fresh ginger, smoked paprika, lime, and red pepper flakes was really tasty ~ I sprinkled each side of the tilapia with garlic salt instead of garlic powder. My tilapia stuck to the iron skillet (chef's fault) so I may bake it next time! Thanks M&A for posting ~

I love cooking and I especially love trying to find ways to make healthy, well rounded dishes that make me and my husband happy while on a budget. We have a dream to one day open up a luncheonette and gourmet deli in a small coastal town.
