1. TENDER WHITE FISH: two delicious ways!

Ingredients:

POACHED TILAPIA w/ PARSLEY + LEMON

Spring is the perfect time for light flavors and subtle but savory dishes that are simple to prepare. We love tilapia, a white fish that is tender and light without being either too oily or too dry. Ask for it at your fish counter!

Prepare:

• 2 6-7 oz. pieces tilapia
• 2 small cloves garlic
• 3 Tblsp. freshly chopped parsley
• Juice of one lemon
• 4 Tblsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt + Pepper to taste

How to Serve:

In a heavy-bottomed pan, poach the tilapia by covering it with cold water and bringing the water to simmer. Poach for 7-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. In a small bowl, crush the garlic cloves into the olive oil, and stir to break up the pieces. Mix in parsley and lemon juice. Remove the fish from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on serving plate. Drizzle with the garlic-parsley sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a fresh vegetable (see recipes below) and a light, fruity white wine.
