If you like fish, you'll like this one. It's delicious, and bonus - very fast to make. These days, you can get tilapia filets for about $1. It's nice because they are each individually packaged, so you can buy them one at a time, or a whole bag of them for $8-$10. That way, you can take as many as you want out of the freezer, and they thaw pretty quick.
PAN FRIED FISH WITH SALAD:
Fish filets (the fish in the picture is tilapia)
Holy trinity of spices: salt, pepper, granulated garlic, red chile powder (mild)
Butter
Put the raw fish on a plate or prep pan. Dust the filets generously with the Holy Trinity of spices. Melt some butter in the pan, 1 or 2 tablespoon per filet. When the butter is melted, place the filets in the butter, spice side down. Now season the other side. Cook the fish in the butter for a couple minutes on each side, till it's done. It won't take long.
While the fish is cooking, get your salad ready. Use spring greens or herb salad. I like to chop them up a little so I don't have giant pieces of salad on my plate. It's hard to eat giant pieces of salad politely. You'll have to cut them up eventually, so I just start out that way. Put a nice pile of salad greens on your plate, then chop up some pepper jack cheese to put on top. On top of that put salt and pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
When the fish is done, put it on the plate with the salad. It could be on top or off to the side. Put a little hot sauce for a finishing touch!
