The sauce was a bit tart and tangy, but it was incredibly good. It worked perfect with the mildness of the fish. And to top it all off... check it out: 1 piece of fish (Tilapia) with 1 tablespoon sauce (and believe me, that is enough sauce) is only 157 calories and 3 grams of fat!! YAY! Delicious and healthy... What more could you ask for??

One Year Ago: Tilapia with Spiced Mustard Sauce
One day you're going to make a fish lover out of me :) I love the color on this piece, so crispy and delicious!!! And I really love the calorie count! Must put on big girl pants & buy fish... :)
ReplyDeleteI go away for 5 minutes and then there you are! I have some frozen tilapia in the freezer (well, of course it's in the freezer - it's frozen!). Don't have any bread crumbs at the moment though. That can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that it's all because of you that I now own my first Panko bread crumbs. :-)I love the sour cream in this recipe. I just need to track down the talapia and I'm all set!
ReplyDeleteYet another amazing dish with one of your creative sauces. The fish and sauce look and sound fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe fish does look so crispy on the outside and flaky, tender inside. The sauce sounds delicious too.
