Low-Fat Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia image

I have posted the origional Recipe for Johnny Carino's Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia, which we love. But, if you look at the fat content, it's pretty frightful. I came up with a lower fat, healthier version so I can have my fish and eat it too.

Time 20m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1/2 cup white flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
1/4 cup jalapeno, diced
1 cup spinach, chopped & de-stemmed
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch garlic salt
2 ounces half-and-half
2 ounces milk
5 ounces angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/8 cup roma tomato, diced
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon white wine

Steps:

  • Cream all of the ingredients for the Lemon Butter together.
  • Dredge the tilapia filets in the flour, and add them with the olive oil and garlic to a medium temperature sauté pan.
  • Once the tilapia has finished cooking on one side, flip them over and add the jalapenos, spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
  • Prepare the angel hair in boiling water, and allow it to cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the temperature of the water.
  • As the filets begin to flake, add the heavy cream, and bring it to a slight boil.
  • Once the cream begins to boil, remove the pan from the fire and reduce the lemon butter into the sauce.
  • Place the pasta in a bowl, and pour the fish with the sauce over the pasta.
  • Garnish with fresh roma tomatoes and parsley.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The tilapia was moist and flavorful, but the sauce was a little too spicy for my taste.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of tilapia, but this recipe changed my mind! The jalapeno and garlic really brought out the flavor of the fish.
