Yummy Tilapia

I have to share this "recipe" because I'm always looking for a new way to cook fish and this was a big hit tonight.  We eat fish usually once a week and I get bored doing it the same way all the time.  I put recipe in quotation marks because I don't have measurements or anything.  This was one of those "wing it" things.

Tilapia

Miracle Whip

Emeril's Original Essence (or your favorite seasoning mix)

garlic

I mixed the Miracle Whip, seasoning and about 1/2 a tsp of garlic (jarred).  I put enough seasoning in it to turn the Miracle Whip orange.  I then stored it in the fridge for about an hour to let the flavors all mix.  When I was ready to cook it, I dried the fish on a towel (I always do this, keeps it from popping so much when you put it in hot oil on the stove) and spread the mixture over the top of the fish.  I put the fish top down into hot oil (about medium high heat) and spread the mixture on the other side.  I let it cook until it was brown and crispy on the edges (this is the way we like it but you can take it off sooner).  The Miracle Whip made a brown crust on the outside and had a great flavor.  

Parker loves Tilapia but she devoured it tonight.  I served it with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.  It made for a very simple but yummy meal!  Give it a try!
