tonight's meal...a new recipe: roasted citrus-crumbed tilapia, sweet potatoes, and left over wild rice

about 1 hour from start to finish, although only about 15 min hands-on time.

citrus-crumbed tilapia
(recipe modified from redbook magazine)


ingredients:
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped italian parsley
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
5 tilapia fillets, thawed if frozen (i buy them individually frozen in the big bag from sam's)
salt and pepper

1. heat over to 450 degrees. line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. combine panko, butter, parsley, and lemon juice in bowl. arrange fillets on baking sheet. salt and pepper both sides. top both sides with panko mixture, pressing to adhere to fillets.
3. roast until breadcrumbs are browned and tilapia is opaque in thickest part, about 8-10 min, flipping half-way.


baked sweet potatoes

ingredients:
4-5 small sweet potatoes (smaller=generally sweeter)

clean skins, poke holes in potatoes, line a baking pan with foil and bake appx 1 hour in a 425 degree oven.

*review: the boy and girl gobbled it down...although, truth be told, the girl hesitated trying the fish for a while. evidently, she's terribly allergic to parsley? no worries, temporary allergy only and she soon discovered it was quite tasty. thank goodness.
