Peach Ginger Glazed Tilapia

 

{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!) 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.

    Now that we’re full into peach season, I’ve got a dozen peaches sitting on the counter needing to be used. How would you substitute fresh peaches for the preserves? Would it work to puree them with a little honey?
