Fish Fridays: Tilapia

Healthy Eating· Recipes

TGIFF…Thank Goodness It’s Fish Friday!  Today I want to share a recipe I use often for tilapia.  I buy tilapia quite a bit because I can get it from Costco (anyone else notice how much I mention that I shop at Costco??) and it is pretty inexpensive when it comes to fish.  If you aren’t much of a fish person because you don’t like that “fishy” flavor, tilapia is a great fish to try because it has a very mild, buttery flavor.  Some other interesting tilapia facts:

  • Tilapia have very low levels of mercury because they are fast-growing and short-lived and eat a primarily herbivore diet, making them less likely to accumulate mercury from prey.
  • Tilapia is low in calories, carbs and sodium, and it’s a great protein source.
  • Tilapia does not have as many beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids as salmon because of its mostly grain diet and is higher in Omega-6 fatty acids, which are actually unhealthy in excessive amounts.  As long as your diet is combined with foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, a more balanced mix of fats can be achieved.

Since I only cook tilapia once in a while, I’m not too worried about that last point.  Besides, I’ve eaten much more unhealthy things than a high-fat fish!

Now on to the recipe.  This is our favorite way to prepare tilapia and it’s so quick and easy with ingredients that are usually always on hand.  I hope you like it as well.

Sauteed Tilapia Fillets with Lime

Ingredients

1 -1 1/3 lb tilapia fillet, about 1/2 inch thick

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

salt and pepper

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 green onions, chopped

Directions

  1. Rinse the fish and pat dry.
  2. Put the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge the fillets in the flour, patting to remove excess.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, wine, lime juice and butter, then set aside.
  5. Heat the oil in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the fillets without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches).
  7. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  8. Turn the fillets over and cook until opaque through the thickest part, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  9. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil or place in a 200 degree oven).
  10. Add the wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  11. Stir in the onions and heat on low about 30 seconds.
  12. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

I was telling some friends last night about my usu I was telling some friends last night about my usual  breakfast, why I make it every day (makes meal tracking easier) and how I boost the protein (1-2 egg whites depending on my mood), and it inspired me to make a reel. 🤷🏻‍♀️
✅Add steel cut quick oats & water, measured based on package directions, to a large bowl big enough to allow for expansion during cooking (I’ve made a very messy mistake before!)
✅Add 1 or 2 egg whites
✅Whisk to break up the egg whites, unless you REALLY like large chunks of eggs in your oatmeal 😬
✅Add a dash of salt, optional
✅Microwave according to directions
✅Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup
Other add-ins: berries, bananas, honey, protein powder

Made with 2 egg whites, this packs a ~13.5g protein punch. When I combine with my collagen protein powder in my coffee, I’m at ~30g protein for breakfast! 💪🏼

I use @myfitnesspal to track so I can either pre-fill my breakfast all week. Or just copy from day to day. Easy peasy!

So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Bran So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Brand Advocate. Mainly I did it because I was already finding a lot of products I liked, and becoming a consultant offered some perks to support my habit! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also the more I dug into the brand, the more I realized how in line it was with the lifestyle I’m trying to live. The clean ratings for the Beautycounter line is always high (check out EWG) so I feel good about using it on my skin. BUT I’m not a salesperson, I don’t ever want my friends to feel pressured to buy anything I’m “selling”, and I really don’t have time to wear another hat in my life 😜. So if you happen to discover the line on your own and are interested in buying a product or 2 to try, send me a message or go to my page at beautycounter.com/angelafuentes. But otherwise, my plan is to not do much promoting. I’ll just be here if you need me ☺️.

Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it is also one of the most preventable. Take these steps to lower your risk:
☀️Seek shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm when the sun is the strongest.
☀️Use physical barriers to protect your skin (clothing, hats, umbrellas, sunglasses).
☀️Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 15 or more, every day. Apply 1 ounce to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
☀️Swipe to see 2 of my favorite sunscreen brands, @supergoop and @beautycounter . Supergoop has an EWG rating of 2 ✅ and Beautycounter is EWG Verified (highest rating)✅. 

☀️Stay healthy! 🕶️
