Quickie with No Veggies

Neither of us even got home from work until right before 8pm. BUMMER.

Nick was starving and eating everything in sight!  So we had to come up with some dinner FAST!

We had Lemon Garlic Tilapia and Garlic Knots (no veggies).

1 lb of tilapia (4 pieces)
1/2 a lemon
2 cloves of garlic
bit spoonful of butter
salt and pepper
1 tsp. parsley

Melt the butter in the frying pan and sautee the garlic.  Salt and pepper (heavier on the pepper) the fishy.  Cut your half a lemon into quarters. Put the fish into the pan, we cooked it slow or low so it would be done at the same time as the knots. Squeeze one half right away and leave lemon in he pan.  Cook covered for a little, flip the fish and squeeze the other part of the lemon into the pan.


For the garlic knots I just used dough from Laurenzos (which I am sure I explained previously).  Cut a roll 1 by 1 inch squares, and tie into knots, or you can just cross them like awareness ribbons.  Bake for about 8 minutes at 375.  Toss rolls in one minced clove of garlic, a little bit of of melted butter and a little bit of olive oil. 


SO FAST. SO GOOD. NO VEGGIES - oops!

  1. Putting a dash of olive oil with butter when sauteeing or frying will keep the butter from burning right up. Sounds great!
