What a colorful looking Talapia

Talapia is often a cheaper alternative to Salmon and Tuna and done correctly can be a great tasting alternative to it's flavorful brothers.

Talapia just like Salmon and Tuna is a staple in my house. My family practically makes it two to three times a week so we have to find ways to create interesting meal out of this plain white canvas.

Ingredients:

Fresh of frozen Talapia (We prefer fresh but we also have a great butcher near by)

Green Peppers

Red Peppers

Yellow peppers

Onions

Parsley

Butter

1 tbsp Garlic (A Staple in this household)

Now I know we eat a lot of Peppers but what i usually do is pre-chop them into long slices and place them in a stay-fresh hands free freezer bag. I usually use the ones made for deli meats and cheese. You can find this at any big box store and it is definitely worth the $10.00 it costs.

Steps:

Take the vegetables out and place them in a paper towel to defrost this helps remove the excess moisture from the peppers so that they are not soggy. In a separate small sauce pan melt the butter with a tablespoon garlic. You could either chop it yourself or buy it pre-chopped. You want to simmer them together but only for a minute, The last this you want is to burn the garlic butter sauce. After it is done set aside.

Take your Talapia (If frozen you want to defrost it before hand) and place it on a sheet of Aluminum foil, drizzle a bit of  the garlic butter to give it a bit of flavor. Take you Peppers and onions and place them over the Talapia. The amount of peppers and onions all depends on the individual. In my family more is better especially when it comes to vegetables.

Now if you have any leftover garlic butter you can drizzle the rest over the vegetables but it is not necessary. Take your Talapia and place a second sheet of foil over it creasing the sides together making a small pocket. Place it is a preheated over that had been set to 350 degrees for twenty minutes, but check periodically.

Take it out and Enjoy! You can pair it up with anything you desire but a side salad and steamed broccoli does go a long way.

You know what they say you eat with you eyes as much as your mouth!
