Tuesday Tilapia

Recently, Cousin Dave got me thinking about fish. He says you're supposed to eat it three times a day. Since he's a toxicologist, he must know. But thirty times a day seemed like too big a change, all at once. As a dietary compromise, I decided to up our fish intake from once every few months to once a week. At least for February. This is what we ate tonight. It was tasty! And eeeeaaasy.

Note: I used frozen tilapia fillets because the whole, fresh, tail-and-head-included tilapia at the meat counter scared me. Maybe one day my sister will teach me to fillet a fish, but until that happens we'll take the pre-packaged stuff wrapped in individualized, vacuum-packed, non-biodegradable plastic; also, as a nod to mom's watchful eye over our arteries and in order to use up the expired jar in the fridge, I used reduced-fat mayonnaise. It was still very creamy and flavorful - it didn't taste "off" at all. Next time I'll mince the garlic instead of just chop it, though. I'll tell you what!

Three times a day would be some serious dedication.
Hopefully my artic cod liver oil omega 3 capsules count as "fish".

Is there a recipe you're going to share?
