Last Night's Dinner

Last night we enjoyed another “simply” made meal – a fish salad.  I bought an abundance of organic salad greens, which I’m trying to use up.  You can use whatever fish you might have on hand.  I used Tilapia, which takes approximately 11 minutes to bake. 

Ingredients

Salad Greens
Tilapia Fish
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Mixed Peppercorns
Red Bell Peppers
Cucumber
Garlic
Black Olives

Use a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a baking dish.  Coat fish with oil on both sides, placing in baking dish.  Use as much fish as you like.  I used two servings.  You can use the whole package if you like.  Sprinkle on sea salt and mixed pepper.  Place in oven to bake.  Follow directions for baking fish on package.  The tilapia I used bakes for eleven minutes at 425 degrees.  I also placed half a loaf of Asiago Cheese bread from Panera in the upper rake to warm while the fish was baking.  Any bread you want to go along with meal is fine.

Slice red bell pepper and chop finely a couple of cloves of garlic.  Sauté’ in some olive oil in skillet on stovetop.  Slice cucumber thinly. 

Place salad greens in bowl, mix in sliced cucumbers, whole black olives (I used about half of can), the red bell pepper and garlic.  Top with baked fish.

I think it is best with a vinegarette dressing.  I used Marzetti's Organics Balsamic Vinaigrette with this salad. 

Place warmed bread on plate, along with olive oil with freshly ground mixed peppercorns in lieu of butter.
