After a week of sweets posts I thought I would balance things out with some healthier choices. (Don’t worry, I’ll be back to my sweets & high carbs soon enough. LOL) Summer is in full gear (at least in this part of the world) & I’m not a big fan of heating up the kitchen. So the natural alternative is the grill! Plus by grilling, you have the added benefit of NOT having extra pots & pans to clean! HOORAY! I love to cook but the dishes part, not so much. I must say the grill master or keeper of the tongs in our house is hubs, because, well, he really doesn’t like me to mess with the grill. LOL! I stick to my indoor grill.

I know this recipe is a bit of a departure for me. But fear not I’ll have two more Italian recipes coming up later this week! And you’ll just have to come back to find out which two *wink wink*
Until then, I’m really over the moon happy how this Thai inspired Tilapia turned out! This recipe came to be, because I had the crazy craving for coconut & lime and have been curious about the Thai flavors. I thought why not? So I gave it a go.
I can’t believe how rich & simply spectacular this sauce is! I know it’s a lot of ingredients, way more than I’m used to. Luckily, I had most of them (with the exception of the coconut milk & red curry paste) already in my pantry. (Once again, I really need to write that post about the importance of a well stocked pantry & should add to that spice cabinet.) It really came in handy for this recipe.
This recipe came about as many of my recipes do - I see what I have in my pantry & refrigerator & experiment away. I’m not one to waste food in the house. Sometimes they work, sometimes not so much. This time it did. Obviously, I’m not going to post the ones that didn’t. LOL
This is an incredibly quick, easy & flavorful recipe. One that even the children love (as long as I tell them it’s chicken- haha). I love Tilapia. It is a very light, flaky, white fish. If you’re not a fish person, I hope you’ll give this one a try. It’s not an overpoweringly fishy fish. The texture is soft & smooth & just melts in your mouth like buddah. I served this with my risotto (see recipe here) & it was amazing. The flavors mixed together beautifully.
