Tilapia

It's been a long week of shoveling snow, and on Friday didn't really feel like cooking; however looking through some magazines etc., I found a lower calorie pan seared fish. I used Tilipia, but you could you Flounder and Cod. The recipe is really simple, as always have everything ready to go. Instead of a creasy fried frish, this was dry and crunchy.

INGREDIENTS:

2 pieces of Tilipia (or other white fish fillets)

1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

2 eggwhites, whipped

1/4 cup of cornmeal

2 tablespoon of Parmigiano grated

salt & pepper to taste

Cooking spray, I used Canola, but you can use whatever you like

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 lemon zest

PROCEDURE:

1. Rinse the fillets and pat dry. Spread mustard on both sides of the fish and set aside.

2. Mix the cornmeal, parmigiano, lemon zest, salt & pepper together, whip the eggwhite in a separate bowl.

3. Place the fillets into the eggwhite, then into the cornmeal mixture on both sides.

4. In a nonstick pan, spray with the canola and the olive oil, heat over medium heat till hot and add the fillets. Cook on one side for about 2-3 minutes (this will depend on the thickness of the fillet), then turn and cook on the other.

5. Remove the cooked fillets, and enjoy. I served broccoli rabe with mine. It was wonderful, a light meal, but filling.
