Baja Fish Tacos

Today Julia had a hockey game with her club team and Philippe and Ginger came to watch! As you can see, Ginger was very focused on the game...

After the game, everyone headed back to Philippe's place to make fish tacos for dinner. This is a recipe we have made many times and we love it. These tacos have lots of flavour from a variety of spices, and the fresh lime and cilantro make it a perfect summer dish.

First, we start off by combining the spices together and sprinkling them all over the tilapia fillets. The fillets are then cooked for about 3 minutes a side in the skillet.

To make the sauce, we combine low fat sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeño petter with lime juice and sliced white onion:

After toasting some flour tortillas, the tacos are put together with the fish, sauce, and avocado and finished off with some fresh lime juice....

....And for dessert, Philippe picked up a big vanilla cupcake at a street fair! It was a tasty finish to a delicious meal and a long day out in the sun.

Sweet and Spicy Citrus Tilapia

Tonight we made a very simple and healthy tilapia recipe that had great flavor: a sweet and spicy tilapia from Cookinglight.com.

This recipe does not require many ingredients and it's very quick to throw together. First, the sauce which is made up of fresh orange and lime juices, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil and a few spices like cumin and ground red pepper. Then the sauce is poured over the fish and left marinating for 15 minutes.

Finally, the fish is sprinkled with paprika (although I'm pretty sure Philippe forgot this step as you can probably tell by comparing our photo to the Cooking Light photo) and popped under the broiler for another 15 minutes after which it is ready to eat!

We paired our dish with green beans sauteed in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
