tilapia with peach salsa

My husband said, "when I saw this I didn't think it would be very good, but it is." I agree.

Make the salsa first:

• 1/2 cup chopped peaches
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup (ish) fresh cilantro, chopped
  
• juice from 1 lime
• a bit of salt and black pepper
• 1 bell pepper, chopped (I used half of a purpley-redish and half of a neon green-yellow. Obviously I am an expert and know the real names of bell peppers)

Mix everything up and put in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

On to the tilapia:

• 2-4 tilapia fillets (I use frozen - still yummy and cheaper)
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp (ish) salt
• 1/4 tsp (ish) black pepper
• cooking spray

Preheat over to 375. Spray cooking spray in baking dish. Put the fillets in the dish. Pour olive oil over the fillets; then spread garlic over the fillets; then shake the basil, salt, and pepper over the fillets. Bake for 8-12 minutes (mine are perfectly flaky at 10 min)

When the tilapia is done, top with salsa. Serve with wild rice and zucchini (not asparagus and potatoes as seen above).

Albacore Enchiladas

Again, a Johnson favorite. So good. Don't fear the tuna... even those who don't like tuna like these.

Ingredients:
2 7oz. cans albacore
3/4 lb. shredded jack cheese
1 4oz. can diced green chiles
1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
8 oz. plain yogurt
1 pint sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup
10-12 tortillas, depending on size

Directions:
Mix together albacore, 1/2 pound cheese, chiles, most of the green onion, 1/2 the yogurt and 1/2 the sour cream for the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the other half of the yogurt and sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and 1/2 cup water for the topping. Put the filling (first bowl) in the tortillas, wrap and place seam-down in a jelly roll pan (or 13x9 pan). Spread the topping over the enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and green onions. Bake at 325F for 20-30 minutes.

Servings: 8-12

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

I got this recipe off from Allrecipes.com. My four year old couldn't get enough of it. It was very tasty and not fishy at all. I did you Miracle Whip instead of the Mayo because that is what I had on hand. Very easy and very tasty.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 pounds tilapia fillets

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.
