(too bad I don't take the time to learn about my camera so I could take better pictures) :)Anyone that knows me knows that I am not a huge fish fan. In recent years, however, I have grown to like it more. Well, Joe brought home some tilapia the other day and we stumbled across this recipe in a newspaper. The verdict... we loved it! It was tender and had just the right amount of flavor, and not too fishy! Here it is...
Lemon Rosemary Tilapia
4 (6 oz) tilapia fillets
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 t dried rosemary (we used more), or 2 T chopped fresh rosemary
2 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Set oven to 450 degrees. Place each tillapia fillet in the middle of a 12" square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle on the garlic and rosemary. Top each fillet with about 1/2 t olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and top with lemon slices. Fold over aluminum foil and seal. (We placed our four pouches on a cookie sheet.) Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

P.S. I just want you to know that, yes, after taking the picture I did notice that it looks like we missed peeling one of the stickers off of the lemon. Oops! Joe insisted that he thought he had them all...oh well!

Hey, that looks really good! Hadn't ever thought of baking fish in pouches. Looks like it's juicy, not dry, and the spices, I'm sure, added a nice flavor. Makes me want to try it! Thanks!
I'm gonna make salmon for dinner tonight...which means Brian won't even come into the house.

We forgot to mention that if you don't cook the fish with lemons that still have the store "label-stickers" on them, it doesn't taste as good! I bet I took off six stickers and there was only one lemon! Looks like I missed one in the picture.
