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.

Back to the grind tomorrow..

Today has been so productive! Wow. After lunch I poked around and finished up a few more loose ends for the different applications, then headed off to spa day!


I painted my toes :)

After that I made a "snack" from a bunch of fruit I had lying around that I didn't want to spoil. Because I was going to gravity after this, I had an ounce of cheese for a little more substance..


This was really tasty- but all the citrus from the blood orange and kiwis hurt my tongue- isn't that weird?

I wanted to eat at the dining center tonight, but that meant eating a little earlier than usual which was annoying. I was going to get chicken (slightly lower calorie) but the beef peppers looked good, and I haven't had beef in a few weeks now. The veggies were yummy as was the rice, and I ate everything except a little of the rice. 

Now it's off to organizing for the week, homework, and SLEEP! Yay- chem lab in the morning! ehh.
