Ingredients

Tilapia: 

  • 46 Tilapia Fillet  
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter  
  • 12 lemon (s)  
  • Rosemary  
  • Parsley  
  • Thyme  
  • 1/3 cup olive oil  
  • 4 cloves of garlic  
  • Creole Seasoning to taste 
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salsa Salad: 

  • Cilantro  
  • ½ Red Bell peppers  
  • ½ Yellow Bell Peppers  
  • 1 large tomato  
  • Red onion  
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar  
  • Salt to taste

Mashed Potatoes: 

  • 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (**A little trick I love to do is mix about 3 tbsp of Nido or Klim powdered milk with about ¼ cup or less of cool water to make a thick cream. This is a great substitute for heavy cream)
 

Instructions

Tilapia:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Clean Tilapia, then pat dry. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside by placing it into a baking dish.
  3. Chop parsley and garlic. Remove rosemary and thyme from the stem.  
  4. Add herbs to room temperature butter, add olive oil then mix to form a paste. 
  5. Rub the paste onto the Tilapia on both sides.
  6. Bake Tilapia uncovered for 15 minutes, then broil on high for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and serve hot.  

Salsa:

  1. Chop cilantro, bell peppers, tomato, and onion.  
  2. Add red wine vinegar and salt to taste. Mix well.
  3. Serve room temperature or cold.  

Mashed Potatoes:

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (be sure to put a generous amount of salt). Drain.
  2. Add butter and mash while they are hot; it is a lot easier.
  3. Add heavy cream.
  4. Mash together well to desired consistency and taste.
