Another of the E-Mealz Gluten Free recipes...We made this one for dinner. I like the E-Mealz recipes because I end up cooking with ingredients I wouldn't have thought to otherwise. Of course, I always anticipate that it won't work out but more often than not I have been very pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I have trouble finding some of the ingredients listed at our local Walmart and sometimes have to substitute or go to a different store. The recipes feed 5 average portions and I have a 15 year old and two - almost 12 year olds. Lately they are all eating larger quantities so sometimes I buy extra. Worst case scenario - we have left overs for lunch!
Seared Tilapia with Herbed Tomotoes
4-6 tilapia filets (we used Swai filets because we couldn't find tilapia at Walmart)
salt & pepper to taste
2 T Olive Oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons mirin
1 Onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 T capers, drained
1/4 t dried basil, 1/4 t tried oregano, 1/4 t salt
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, drained
Pat fish dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, cook fish 3 to 4 min on each side or until flaky. Transfer fish to warm platter. Add butter, mirin, onion & garlic to skillet, sauté until translucent. Stir in capers, basil, oregano and 1/4 t salt. Reduce heat to low, add tomatoes, cook, and stir occasionally. Approximately 10 minutes. Top fish with tomato sauce.
We served this with baked potatoes! It was very, very good!
This was our first time to try Swai and based on how inexpensive it was and how good it was, I would probably continue to substitute for tilapia! I found that they are a kind of catfish. Read the label for origin as you want it to come from the U.S.
