ANOTHER Fish recipe – I know I know crazy right

If you did not know I am not super comfortable cooking with fish ( I think it is too much Hell’s Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey screaming that the scallops are raw)

BUT because many readers have asked for more fish recipes I am pushing beyond my comfort levels and the results are yummy 🙂

Today we ( my dad and I ) have made you a baked tilapia with a light cream sauce – simple and gluten – free

I love how simple this recipe is and that almost everything you need is in your pantry RIGHT NOW!!!

Except the fish …. I would be worried if there was fresh fish in your pantry

Here is my dad preparing the fish to be baked – he is lightly coating the fish with olive oil ( using a kitchen brush works best)

Of course my laptop is on the counter as well – I “try” and multitask finding deals and cooking — “try” is the important word here

While the fish is cooking the sauce is made. We served this fish with some steamed rice and it was a great pairing.

Side Note – The platter the fish is on is my favorite platter from my childhood – countless dinners have been served on it 🙂

I thought you would enjoy it so I used it for this dish

Also my dad choose the napkin ( not too sure where that is from )
