Magic Dusted Tilapia and Butternut Squash fries -- back to top

I didn't feel like doing a lot of cooking so I took some frozen tilapia, put leftover magic dust form the other day on it and baked it in the toaster oven. I also made butternut squash fries. The mandolin had some trouble getting through the squash but it wasn't too bad in the end. They didn't come out very crispy but I still liked them.

Salsa Tilapia and Roasted Broccoli -- back to top

As I have done a few times before, I baked some frozen tilapia and frozen shrimp with salsa on top. Despite doing the same amount of time as before (350 for 30), the tilapia wasn't fully cooked. So, I microwaved it for a bit and it exploded everywhere. Oh well, it was still pretty good.

I used a really, really, really hot salsa from the farmers market. OUCH! It was intense

I also roasted broccoli. Nothing special but it was very good.

Tilapia and Beets -- back to top

Somehow I forgot to take a picture. I made tilapia in the oven with a sauce from Trader Joes (garlic and eggplant). I have always had issues cooking tilapia from frozen in the oven since it takes longer than I expect and I have to microwave it. So I defrosted it in the microwave first.

It was pretty good and pretty easy

Tilapia, Asparagus and Spinach + Arugula salad -- back to top

This was a rather boring meal. I cooked Sweet and Sour tilapia (purchased frozen at Whole Foods) in the pan. In the mean time, I steamed asparagus. Finally, I had spinach and arugula salad with fat free french dressing. I didn't calculate the points but it has to be ridiculously low

Sous Vide Tilapia and Sautéed Kale -- back to top

I made tilapia using my new sous vide setup. Actually, the setup isn't for sous vide but it should work. I do want to do some real tests, but in the mean time, I just cooked tilapia from frozen. I started with the water pretty warm, put the fish in, and let it go. However, I only set it to low and when I checked on it a while later, it was not at temp. I was afraid the fish was at the "danger zone" for too long so I tossed it and tried again with it on warm

A few things. The first is that I am unsure of this setup. It blew past the set temp and took a very long time to come down. I do not know if it is a mixture issue or that fact that it may be too strong of a source. I'll investigate. (see the photo below. I'll comment later on making it but it's for beer)

The other thing is that this is simply a piss-poor test of the system. It is pretty boring fish with absolutely no seasonings. I just wanted something fast and easy.

The fish came out pretty well. It was warm when I ate it but that is likely after I plated it. It seemed fully cooked and certainly not overcooked.

I also made sautéd kale. Pretty standard. I just added some salt, pepper and dried onions.
