A Yummy, Nutritious, Easy Meal Featuring Baked Tilapia

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place veggies that have been cut up in a shallow baking dish that has been drizzled with olive oil. (Potatoes, broccoli, carrots, onions, squash – whatever you have that you like). Sprinkle generously with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. Toss – coating the veggies with the oil and salt. Place uncovered in preheated oven. Toss several times during the baking process.

About 15 minutes later, put 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil in a baking dish for each Tilapia Filet that will be baked. Place each filet in the oil and then turn over to coat each side. Sprinkle generously with Dill Weed and salt to taste. Also drizzle fresh lemon juice (I sprinkled lemon powder) over each filet. Place 1 -2 garlic cloves that have been chopped very fine over the filets.

Bake uncovered (while veggies are baking) for 30-45 minutes until flaky at the touch of a fork. Turn the filets over and sprinkle more dill and salt over the filets about half-way through the baking time.

After you get all that going, make some cornbread and add that to the oven to bake with everything else.

While you’re waiting for everything to bake, make some Cole Slaw. Shred whatever amount of cabbage you want. Add some shredded carrots and chopped onion. Make the dressing by using equal parts of white vinegar, sugar, and oil – I used veggie oil – I suppose olive oil would work, too – just never tried it. I made enough for about 4 servings and used 2 T of each for the dressing.
