Curried Tilapia

Curried Tilapia
From Jamie's Food Revolution, except I just made it for one person :)

1 tilapia fillet, thawed if frozen
1.5 Tbs mild curry powder
salt and pepper
small pat of butter
lug of olive oil
cilantro
lemon or lemon juice
plain yogurt (I used greek)

Put the curry powder, salt and pepper on a plate, and press the fish onto it one side at a time until completely covered with the spice mixture.

On high heat and in a nonstick pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the fish and cook for about 3-4 minutes, spooning the hot oil over the top of it to help the other side cook. Then flip it, and continue cooking until cooked through, about another 3-4 minutes. Do not be tempted to undercook this sucker. I did, and the middle of my fish was rather rare (sushi anyone?).

Serve on a bed of rice with cilantro leaves on top, a squeeze of lemon, and a dollop of plain yogurt. This is a super fast recipe- I easily made it in under half hour.
