OK, now I know I'm not much of a fish fan. In fact, the only fish I even remotely like is my daughter's Beta called "Valentimes". And the only reason I tolerate her is that she doesn't eat much, someone else changes her water, and she doesn't make much noise.

But I keep reading that fish is high in protein and low in fat and calories (what--there's no protein in chocolate?? But it's one of the major food groups!!!), and it's supposed to be good for you.

SO...

I bought some fish called "Tilapia". I read the instructions on the back of the package, and mostly followed them. Needless to say--I did not like it. Not one little bit.

Being the tenacious one that I am, however, I bought it again. This time, I tried something different. I loved it! My picky son loved it! My husband told me "yeah, you could make this again" which is code for "hey--you finally cooked something that my stomach didn't want to kick back out!"

Here's my simple recipe for "non-kick-back" fish:

Pour about a teaspoon of lemon juice on a 4oz Tilapia fillet (I'm guessing that this'll work on just about any kind of fish). Sprinkle generously with Emeril's All Natural Bayou Blast seasoning. Broil for 6 minutes. Turn fillet over, and use lemon juice and Emeril's on the other side. Broil for another 6 minutes.

You'll end up with a mouth watering, tender, flaky, low-cal, low-fat, high-protein cajun-spiced fish that'll just knock your socks off! Ooooh boy, is it good!! If you do veggies on the side, just dash a little of Emeril's on those, too.

BAM!
