{Repin it!}
So I found some tilapia fillets on super sale a while back. Made this tilapia. And then made this tilapia (recipe below). And now I wish I’d bought more packages for the freezer. oh. well.
Our boys love fish…tilapia, salmon, fish sticks, fried fish from Luby’s. (Luby’s is a cafeteria style restaurant in San Antonio…and we all love their fried fish…it’s a treat to eat there, and when we do we always take a coupon for the paper or a coupon mailer!)Â Anywho…I decided to sweeten up the last package of the tilapia that I got on special, and serve it alongside some other inexpensive ingredients…like rice and frozen broccoli.
The glaze is made up of a few ingredients that I already had in the freezer…and would be easily adaptable to other flavors. You could use apricot preserves instead, or regular or honey mustard instead of Dijon. I’ll share how I made the glaze and you can adapt according to what you have on hand!
Never Pay More than Prices: $1 for 1 lb. frozen veggies, $3/lb frozen fish fillets.
