I don't have photos - boo. BUT!
Last night, I stopped by my favorite grocery store, D&W on Parkview and Oakland in Kalamazoo, MI. My, oh my, do they ever have a wonderful meat counter. Their fish selection is fantastic. I got 1.13lbs of tilapia for $4 on manager's special, ran to my parents' house to meet a friend and work out, then realized - I need to eat. What to do with this fish?!
Here's what I did. I made a marinade. An awesome, delicious, super awesome, yummy marinade.
It included...
2tsp honey dijon mustard
1tbs-ish of fresh orange zest
2tbs of orange juice (squeezed from same orange as the zest)
1 clove minced garlic
bit of basil
bit of dried minced onion
a whole lot of awesome
I mixed that all up, threw it in a baggie and let it marinate for 40 mins while I went for a walk/jog. Which reminds me, I was pleased as punch to have completed 3.1 miles in 40 minutes! How many miles per hour is that? I don't know... Rate = distance / time or something? 3.1 miles divided by 40 minutes, times 60 equallllsssss... 4.65 miles per hour. Not bad!
After said brisk walk/jog, I returned, threw that fish and some zucchini (which I sprayed with a bit of Pam and tossed with Italian herbs & garlic) and cooked up in about 10 minutes. The marinade was awesome. My Mom laughed at me when I exclaimed, "This is so good... I can't believe I made it."
Bonus? The whole meal was 275 calories. Next time, I'm going to do this up and let things marinate over night, and it will be even more stellar.
I keep asking this, and I'm serious - any of you have some yummy, healthy meals you've stumbled upon? I wanna know! I'll try it! And I'll even take pictures, I promise.
