Tilapia Fish Tacos

Fresh Direct was having a sale on tilapia and suggested making fish tacos for dinner.  We are very open to suggestion, so... we did.  And they were yummy!

To make the tilapia, we followed a Food Network recipe for baking it.  We used Old Bay seasoning rather than salt and pepper, but followed the recipe closely other than that.  After the requisite 12 minutes in the oven, the filets didn't seem cooked all the way through.  So we quickly flashed them on a pan until even the thickest parts were nicely flaky (about a minute per side).  End result:  moist and aromatically scrumptious.

To amp up the whole "fish taco" theme, we made a quick guac by mixing peach & mango salsa with ripe avocado and a splash of lime juice and salt.  We baked some kale crisps to add crunch, threw in some shredded cheese and fresh cilantro for zing, and toasted corn tortillas to house the whole kit and kaboodle. 

 Yummers!  Thanks for the idea, Fresh Direct!
