Cooking: 30-minute Fish Dish

Are you one of those people that want to eat healthier meals? Let's get more specific... are you wanting more fish in your diet? And, would you like to cook a dish that is EASY and QUICK?

I'm blessed with a mom who is a fantastic cook. And, fortunately for me, she loves to cook fish. A few weeks ago, I asked her some questions on cooking salmon and tilapia. Normally I grill my fish... but she told me an easy way to bake it. I took her recipe, and then added a little "flare" to it.

Here's my 30-minute recipe... preparation is 10-15 minutes and the cooking time is 15-20 minutes.

First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Also, open up cans of asparagus and green beans. Put them in a pot and heat them up. While those are heating up, melt some butter into a casserole dish. After the butter has melted, open up a large can of diced tomatoes. I used the Italian Seasoned tomatoes. Pour those into the casserole dish over the butter. Cut up some onions. You can also add bell peppers, too.

Next, place the fish over the top of your first layer. I used both salmon and tilapia. I then seasoned everything with salt, pepper, dill, lemon juice... a great seasoning to use is "Greek Seasoning." It's like an all-spice. I then poured a little olive oil over the top of everything. Crumble saltine crackers over the top of the dish.

Drain the cooked asparagus and green beans, and pour them over the top of the fish. Crumble more crackers over the top of everything, and now your dish is ready to go. Seriously, this should have taken you about 15 minutes at the max!

Place the dish in the oven and cook anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes. The fish should be moist and flaky when it's done. When you pull it out, it's ready to be served. I was able to get several meals out of it. And, if you're serving it for others, you can at least get 4 servings if not more.

This dish is easy, it's light, and I guarantee you'll love it. Feel free to add any variations to it. If you like it, let me know!

Enjoy!!!
