Recipe: Tilapia Fish with Citrus Salad

Fish, it's what's for dinner! My mom made a really nice, yet simple curried fillet of tilapia fish with a yummy citrus salad. The combination of spicy fish and refreshing organge in the salad perfectly complement one another. Mom said she watched a recipe on Giada and got inspired, I love this! 

  

Later, I'm going to try to create a low-cal version of apple pie, Pear Pie! Using fresh pears from out tree in the backyard. Stay tuned for that!

How to create this delicious and healthy dinner: 

FISH

• Wash the fish pieces, we used frozen store-bought fillets
• Season with, lemon, salt and pepper, turmeric, mustard powder, coriander leaves chopped, olive oil and garlic powder
• Heat a little olive oil in a shallow pan, and gently cook on low heat, covered, 2 mins on each side
• Done!

SALAD

• Chop lettuce leaves
• Peel an orange or tangerine
• Slice into small pieces or separate the sections (you can also use a grapefruit!)
• Take the last slice and squeeze out the juice of it
• Add scallions if you like
• Season with salt, pepper, lemon, a splash of orange juice, mustard powder and ground flax seed
• Done!
  

The cool part about this is, if you save a little salad and tangerine section for your last bite,  the orange beautifully sweetens your mouth, like a little dessert, but also cleanses your palette. so you don't really feel like eating anything new afterward. Neat, right?
