Even though it goes against what I believe about children eating family meals, I've dropped the fish subject with them for a while and let them have sandwiches when I'm cooking fish for dinner. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles, ya know? I did give them broccoli though...
Honey Ginger Tilapia (adapted from Our Best Bites)
serves 2-4
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
juice of a lime
1 teaspoon grated ginger root (you can store whole ginger in the freezer, by the way)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 tilapia fillets
cilantro for garnish
Sauce:
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 small clove garlic, grated on microplane or pressed in garlic press
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger root
juice of 1 lime
Sriracha sauce to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, lime juice, and olive oil. Marinate the fish in the mixture for 10-15 minutes, but no longer, or the fish will cook in the acid of the vinegar and lime juice.
While the fish is marinating, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
Heat a nonstick pan over high heat. Drizzle a little olive oil and cook tilapia for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. The tilapia will flake with a fork when it's done.
