Week 9 - Day 4

*Tilapia is now considered by some resources to be the 5th most popular seafood consumed in the United States.

*From where does tilapia originate?

*Why do many people prefer tilapia?

*We are told to eat fish once or twice a week.  Do some research on your own to

gain wisdom and discernment over the fish controversy.

(see page 127 in your Healthy Home Ec book)

 Gather your supplies and ingredients.

 Juice the lemon and lime as instructed on page 126, step 1.

Follow the procedure for steps 2-5 to make the lemon basil sauce.

Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat dry.

 Drizzle the fillets with oil to coat both sides.

Add the seasonings.

Read the labels on lemon pepper seasoning.

Most have added ingredients that aren't good.

Organic seems to be the best choice with all natural ingredients.

Add the lemon pepper to the fillets.

Cook fish until white and flaky.

Once cooked, transfer fish to a plate and drizzle with lemon basil sauce.

This lemon basil sauce can be used over any fish.

In addition to tilapia, one of my favorite fish is tuna steaks.

Tuna steaks are great when grilled.

This is one of the reasons I love living in the Midwest.

This is my backyard view from my grill.

From Psalm 104:

The Lord "has stretched out the heavens like a tent,

who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters,

who makest the clouds thy chariot,

who ridest on the wings of the wind,

who makest the winds thy messengers,...

Thou didst set the earth on its foundations...

the birds of the air have their habitation;

they sing among the branches.

O Lord, how manifest are your works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all."

See God in His creation today.

and your reading selections,
you will do fine.  Have a blessed evening.)
