My husband loves smoked paprika. He wants me to put it on everything. I personally love it on chicken thighs, but in order to loss some size in my thighs we are eating tilapia. I serve this with some roasted sweet potatoes (with a little paprika) and roasted broccoli. This recipes serves our family of four, but you can mix up a large batch of the spice rub to store in an air tight container.
Spice Rub
1 heaping tablespoon of smoked paprika
1 tablespoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of cayanne pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of pepper
Mix together in a bowl. Use now or store for later.
Now for the fish:
4 Tilapia filets
2 Tablespoons of Spice Rub
1 Lemon
Non Stick Spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Zest lemon and add to spice rub. Sprinkle spice rub onto both sides of the fish. Spray a pan with non stick spray. Lay the fish on the pan and bake 10-12 minutes. When the fish comes out squeeze the lemon juice over the fish. Enjoy!
We eat so much tilapia in our house. The baby loves it, the boy not so much. Do you do the short order cook thing in your house or do they get what they get?
YUM! We love the Tilapia Loins at Costco. For anyone who doesn't "think" they like fish, this one is thick, moist and not fishy tasting at all. This looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAs for the short order cook thing, we do a little of both. Roman is eating more and more of the same things we do, unless it's really spicy. But I still find myself making nuggets, spaghetti or fish sticks for them while we eat more grown up food. We also eat a slightly different diet than the growing kids need.
Is a fish stick a kid food?? I love a good fish stick! I hope that I will have a family that eats the same thing soon. Some days it makes me crazy and some days I can convince Andrew to eat what we are eating. Maybe I will get lucky and the baby will not go through this phase.
