There are just those days when you want something easy to cook that is tasty too. You know what I mean…something that doesn’t take a lot of prep time. A few days ago I wanted to make something easy for two so I defrosted some tilapia fillets to make this dish. It is a recipe from Kraft that I updated with spices and Panko. It allows you to dress up your fish for two with a creamy coating and great flavor!
I added Roasted Veggies as a side and it was perfect for Greg and I. This is a dish I prepare and enjoy at least once a month and anytime of the year.
