My Favorite Tilapia recipe!!

this is great for ppl who dont like fish, cause you totally cant taste it!!

anyways...you will need..

tilapia fillets
paprika
oregano
olive oil
cucumber (i get the kind in the plastic wrapping - english cucumber i think)
lemon juice
salt
capers (if you like them!)
fresh parsley

preheat oven to 425..

i just use a regular cooking pan and foil, and plop the fish right on without any spray or oil...

coat fish with lemon juice
put on a nice coating of paprika (i do it until the filet is totally covered), and then some oregano
pop that in the oven for about 10 mins or so

while that is cooking:

chop up about 1/4 of the cucumber (depending on how much "salsa" you want...i completely smother mine...
put the cucumber in a bowl with enough room to stir and then add:
chopped parsley (i add a few tablespoons)
tablespoon or two of olive oil
as much lemon juice as you want (i probably use 1/8 - 1/4 of a cup, but i looove lemon juice)
pinch of salt
dash of oregano
capers if you like them ( i dont! )
and if you want, you can toss some extra paprika in there
then stir it all up!

When your fish is ready, put it in one of those deep soup dishes (the salsa has some yummy liquid that you dont want to waste!) and dump your salsa on top! All ready!!!

i didnt make this up...i got it from an american heart association cookbook.

It is soooo good and so easy to make!! I cant cook at all, and i have mastered this!
