Friday Fish Dinner

Please join Michael for Foodie Friday at designsbygollum.blogspot.com for this delicious weekly event and get some inspiration.

This year I decided to be good and during Lent I will eat fish on Friday's. I made Tilapia which is becoming a favourite fish in my house for my husband and I, but my daughter refuses to even come near any fish.
While at the veggie store they had some zucchini which looked good and first I bought them I thought I would make a zucchini cake but as you can see I roasted them for the first time and I loved them otherwise I'm not too much of a fan of that veggie unless it's in a cake or muffin.

Roasted Zucchini Spears

[Adapted from The Classic Zucchini Cookbook]

2 medium zucchini, cut in half and then 3" spears.
2 garlic cloves, minced

2 Tbsp. EVOO [Extra Virgin Olive Oil]

salt and pepper to taste

Balsamic Vinegar

Preheat oven to 450 deg. Faren.

Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Arrange zucchini spears skin side down on baking sheet.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the zucchini with the EVOO, garlic and salt and pepper.

Roast for 15 till done or tender and lightly browned.

Transfer Zucchini to a serving plate and drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar.......serve warm.

*I omitted the Balsamic vinegar but used a wee bit of red pepper flakes crushed and some Italian seasoning.

Roasted and ready to eat.......yummmmmm.

Baked Tilapia

Preheat oven to 400 deg. Faren.

Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.

I used some Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper sprinkled and rubbed some on the Tilapia fish fillets.

Roasted them for 25 min.............til done. Some ovens maybe different.

Here's my dinner on a plate........we also had Basmati buttered rice with some chick peas. I just use the canned chick peas and sauted some in a wee bit of butter and then add them to the cooked rice............. you can use any rice but this happens to be my husbands fav.

Thank you for visiting me today and do visit the other participants for some Foodie Friday fun!!!!!
