Spicy Lime Tilapia

We both really enjoyed this! And we have always been, and continue to be a little afraid of cooking fish. This was really easy. They are made in foil pouches so clean up is easy. They have a kick! We reserved the other half of the lime and sprayed it on right before we ate it, but that is just because we like some extra zing. We did not have any asparagus, so we just used extra spinach, but we are definitely going to do this again, but with the asparagus!

This was good, Give it a try!

Spicy Lime Tilapia
(Makes 2 servings)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp red-pepper flakes
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach
12 asparagus tips
2 tilapia fillets (3 to 4 oz each)
2 scallions, sliced
2 lime quarters
Salt and pepper

1. To make chili oil, combine the olive oil and the red-pepper flakes in a small bowl and microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Set it aside.

2. For each serving, lay an 18-inch length of aluminum foil flat on a work surface and arrange half the spinach and six asparagus tips in the center.

3. Place a fillet on top, and top the fillet with half the scallion pieces, half the chili oil, and the juice from a lime quarter.

4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Fold the foil up and over the food, crimping the edges closed and creasing the sides to form a tent.

6. Bake in a 450°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
