I have really been working hard to get fish on the dinner table at least two times a week. Its such a healthy option that is high in protein, low fat and very satisfying. I just have always hated the smell in my kitchen and to be honest the cost. A good piece of Halibut is now cost in the ball park of $20 per pound. And if you are not comfortable cooking fish you have the fear of destroying the mini investment. I have really enjoyed cooking the Tilapia loins from Costco. they are a less pricey fish, that is a meaty texture that has no fishy-ness at all. Also fast to cook. thaw in fridge the morning of and cooks up on 12-15 minutes in the oven.

Enjoy with wild rice, your favorite vegetable and or a salad. Mango salsa as a garnish is really nice as well to compliment the fish. So versatile and delicious.
