Seasoned Tilapia and Coleslaw

Hello Readers!

You have made it to the middle of the week and only two more days to go of the work week. Tonight was definitely a fish night. My husband and I usually eat fish 2x a week or more and tonight we decided tilapia was a good choice. The fish was so buttery and flaky after it came out of the oven! You can also easily turn this recipe into fish tacos if you want to add a little extra carbs. Enjoy!

Seasoned Tilapia

2-4 fillets of tilapia (1 per person)
Olive oil
Lemon pepper seasoning
Fish seasoning

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the fish in a row. Drizzle olive oil and seasonings on top of the fish to your liking. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flaky.



Coleslaw

I absolutely love making coleslaw my own recipe. I have been trying various recipes in conjunction with my own ideas to make something that is less on the mayo side and more vinegar based. This is probably the closest I have come to what I have been trying to get to for a while now. Enjoy!

1 head of red cabbage
1 bag of julienned carrots
1-2 stalks of celery, chopped thinly
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup dijon mustard
4 tablespoons of white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Julienne all veggies and combine in a bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, combine mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Feel free to add more mayo or less vinegar depending on your taste preference. Whisk to combine. Once combine, add to veggie mixture and toss. On top of the coleslaw mixture, sprinkle about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to add a little extra crunch. The extra sugar gives the most unique taste to the mixture that I love.
