Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound tilapia fillets, cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 28-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for topping
Kosher salt
10 ounces multigrain spaghetti
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Toss the tilapia, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic starts to soften, about 30 seconds.

SPICY GRILLED TILAPIA W/ CREAMY GRITS OR RICE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE



Spicy Grilled Tilapia W/ Creamy Grits or Rice and Mushroom Sauce image

An easy and tasty recipe from Food Network. In order to make it more low calorie, I replaced butter/oil w. cooking spray, and heavy cream with fat free milk with a 1/2 tsp of flour. Grits I replaced with brown rice. It looks great on the plate, tastes fantastic, and is very low calorie and healthy. Instead of a regular grill, I broiled the fish and vegetables in oven spraying them first with cooking spray so that they would not get dry (used same timings as given in the recipe for grilling).

FILETE DE CULICHI (TILAPIA W MUSHROOMS IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE)



Filete De Culichi (Tilapia W Mushrooms in Poblano Cream Sauce) image

This is a my take on a special dish that our favorite Mexican restaurant in our town - 3 Margaritas - makes for my husband and me. It is not on the menu, but since we love fish they made this for us once and now we get it often, as do our friends. We expect this to be on the menu someday soon. It is tender Tilapia sautéed with garlic butter, topped with mushrooms and smothered in a special Poblano Cream sauce and it is YUMMY! You could replace the tilapia with anything - another kind of fish, chicken, whatever... and it would still be great! Serve with rice and beans on the side and fresh flour tortillas for dipping!
