Fast and Delicious Fish with Missy Tippens

Missy, here. My daughter and I recently went searching on Pinterest for a good fish recipe. I had some nice tilapia and she remembered seeing something that looked good. But we couldn't find anything that looked like what we wanted, so we decided to make up our own recipe.

But FIRST! A taste of spring. To show how quickly it can get here…

Our Japanese magnolia at 10 am on March 11th.

Same branch at 4 pm that day…

Pretty amazing, huh?!

And now that fish dish. We sort of based it on the Hellman's chicken recipe I shared here.

Cheesy Dill Tilapia

Created by Missy Tippens and Daughter

I decided to roast vegetables at the same time I was cooking the fish. I coated with olive oil and sprinkled with seasoning salt.

So I placed the baking sheet with fish on the lower rack. Baked at 350 for about 5-7 minutes (depending on thickness of fish).

While it was baking, I stirred together about 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup grated parmesan and a teaspoon or two of dried dill. Fresh dill would be fantastic.

Remove the pan of fish from the oven. Since the fish was so near the bottom of the oven, I flipped it over, and spread the butter/cheese/mayo evenly on the fillets of fish.

Bake another 5-7 minutes until fish is translucent. I took out the pan of vegetables. Then for one more minute or so, I turned the oven to the "Broil" setting to it could get a nice golden top.

And here it is! Looks delicious.

And believe me, it was! The cheesy parts that melted off and browned on the pan were the best!

A quick, easy dinner! And mostly healthy. :)
