    This is soooo easy it's barely a recpie! I was cooking for a friend on a strict diet & was trying to give her a flavorful dish without setting her diet back. This is what happened.

    Ingredients

    • 4 Tilapia Fillets
    • 2 limes
    • 1 clove of garlic
    • ~Chili oil, enough to coat the skillet~~~ See below
    • Salt & Pepper to taste
    • You can buy chili oil in an Asian market ( I like â—¦Fruitful Island, be sure it is the CLEAR OIL, not a paste or sauce.

    Directions

    1. Juice 2 limes,
    2. Crush the Garlic & 1/2 tsp lime zest, add to lime juice
    3. Put Tilapia Filets into a zip lock bag
    4. Add the lime & garlic.
    5. Marinade for 10 - 30 min
    6. Heat a heavy skillet & spray with non stick spray.
    7. After skillet is hot add the chili oil
    8. Remove the Tilapia from the bag ~ lightly saly & place in skillet
    9. Cook over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, flip with the spatula
    10. Pour a small amount of the lime juice over the fish (be careful of the splatter)
    11. Continue to cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until the fish is opaque.
    12. Let the fish rest for a couple of minutes before plating.
    13. Bed atop any number of choices. It was great on Butter Lettuce!
