Need Dinner in 15 or less? Broiled Tilapia is the answer!

No lie, this fish recipe takes less than fifteen minutes. Start to finish. Beginning to end. Including prep time, cook time, and sliding that sucker on a plate.

Just saying, steaming some broccoli and carrots takes less than fifteen minutes, too, so theoretically you could get a healthy dinner turned out in no time.  However, I usually like rice with my fish (not sure why, I feel like it just goes well together?...), and that takes at least 25 minutes, so now we're up to half an hour.  But hey, don't say I didn't give you options!

This recipes is only for 2, so if you are feeding more, just double, triple, etc. it, and there shouldn't be any problems.  The best part?  It is only 5 WWP+ per filet!  For something as flavorful (not to mention that includes miracle whip & parmesan cheese) as these tilapia filets, that is amazing!

Here is another reason to keep that bag of frozen fish in your freezer: quick meals, like this one, for when you're not sure what to fix!

Ingredients:
2 5-oz Tilapia Filets, thawed
1 tablespoon Butter, melted
1 tablespoon Parmesan, grated
1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 tablespoon Miracle Whip (or fat-free/light Mayo)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Cooking spray
simple simple.
Turn Broiler on to high.  Line a broiler-safe pan with foil (optional, just makes clean-up easier) and lightly grease with cooking spray.

Pat fish dry and lay in pan.  Broil for 3 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients.
easy peasy
Remove fish from oven and flip filets over.  Spread mixture over the top of the fish and return to oven. 
the butter will start to get all melty. 
Broil another 3-4 minutes, until the fish is flaky.

Ta-da!  That is literally it.  So simple!
Yummmmyyy! 
Roasted broccoli & cauliflower make a great accompaniment for any meal.
