To inspire you to somehow be in the mood to get healthy, here’s a recipe that hubby made me cook. It’s a simple tilapia dish that he requested the other day. Tilapia is a good source of protein which in turn is good for the muscles…accordingly there are 27 calories in 1 ounce of tilapia, Calorie breakdown: 16% fat, 0% carbs, 84% protein.
You will need:
2 small tilapia, scaled, gutted and cleaned 1 lemon, sliced
salt
Steamer
water
garlic , minced
butter, melted
1. Prepare steamer and make sure the water is starting to boil when you put in the fish.
2 .Clean fish well and make diagonal cuts.
3. Salt fish and coat well. Squeeze with lemon from the slices (you can also put some cooking wine). Put some lemon slices on top of fish.
4. Place fish into steamer and steam for 20 minutes or so.
5. Combine garlic and butter. Serve fish with garlic and butter combo, don’t forget your bowl of rice!
For the conscious you, leave out the butter…
My husband also loves this recipe but with cream dory. I tried it with tilapia but he like the dory better. I love to prepare this for him because its ready in less than 30mins. Very easy and yummy at the same time.
True, very easy. I have been staying away from cream dory because of reports about how they were raised in Vietnam, I don’t know if it’s black propaganda or anything but I somehow never got the chance to cook it again…
More exercise, less intake = weight loss.
I like it because it’s easy to make. Yes, we should combine a healthy diet with exercise if we want to stay fit. But, yummy food is just so tempting!
I will try this one of this days 😀
I’m going to try out this recipe later. Found some tilapia in the freezer. Just need to run to the supermarket to get me some lemons. Thanks for sharing this!
i don’t need it yet, hehe but i’ll keep that in mind just in case i would need to go on a diet in the future 🙂
My kind of dish!!! Thanks, will be in Batangas this week and you know that Tilapia is the best there..hehe
i agree on the diet theory. i’m guilty here. because i have always enjoyed eating and the rest of the gang, too. but im slowly starting out out on eating healthily- less sugar, less, salt- i have taken out the condiments out of our dining table. the hubby’s the one na pinakamakulit kausap 🙂
I would have added some more spices and this and that but that would not be a diet anymore lol.
yummy yum yum i love tilapia
I prefer to bake it using cooking spray with no calories
This sounds so good. I have what it takes to make this tomorrow. I think I will really enjoy it.
Sounds like a great dish! I’ve had Tilapia before but never have had it steamed (I’ve usually fried or baked mine). I will definitely have to try this one. Thanks for the post!
