I'm soooooo glad it seems you took the weigh in lightly! I know you're making such great progress (and your nut too) that the scale number doesn't really matter at this point. Great job!!!

1) 😂

2) 👅 shrimp!!!!!! Yum

3) tilapia is pretty good. That and salmon (which I don't have often) is what we eat. Funny thing, we're exact opposite. We've always eaten our fish grilled or baked, never fried. 😂

whats really good on tilapia, is a Parmesan crust. Put a tad mayo, lemon juice, garlic powder mixed together. Supposed to mix butter too, but I'm trying to alter the recipe to be lower in fat. Another on top of almost fully cooked fish. Then sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese on top and broil it until done.

Im interested in how you season and cook your tilapia! Let me know! 😊

I only ever cook fish en papillote ("in paper" you can use parchment paper or foil, but the paper is better). It's foolproof and always comes out moist, and the tilapia ends up tasting like what you put in with it. Here's a basic version:

In the middle of a square of parchment paper, place three slices of lemon (seeds removed). Place tilapia over the lemons, season with salt and pepper, and add 1tsp of high-flavor butter on top of the fish (only adds 33 calories, but a lot of flavor and good fat to help your body absorb nutrients. Trader Joe's cultured butter is the BEST for this).

Fold the parchment paper. You can find a bunch of ways on Google Image with the words "en papillote folds". Much easier than me trying to describe it.

Then bake for 10 min at 400 on a greased baking sheet and you're done. It's seriously easy.

To sum up:

paper

lemon/vinegarette/tomato slices/Dijon mustard

fish

seasoning (salt, pepper, herbs, garlic, whatever you like)

tiny bit of fat (butter, olive oil, mayo, etc)

fold

bake 10 min at 400.

Foolproof.

You are giving me recipe ideas sounds so delicious.
