Fish Kids Love (with a fish tip that takes the stink out)

Everyone knows that you should be eating lots of fish. Three big issues with this for moms- 

1) Cooking fish can lead to a smelly cleanup, a problem that is exacerbated by apartment living.

2) A lot of kids are fish-adverse.

3) Why spend a lot time cooking something smelly that the kids won't eat? 

My friend Dana mentioned that her kids actually love a super easy fish recipe that our mutual friend Abby introduced her too. How fabulous is that? Easy fish that the kids love. If only it were easy to cleanup! Luckily I have the missing link to cooking fish - reduced stink. Just line your pan with tin foil, and THROW IT OUT after you cook the fish. Hooray! What’s gonna work? Teamwork!

On another note, The Pioneer Woman (www.thepioneerwoman.com) introduced me to seasoned salts, something I had never dabbled in. She’s a big fan of Lawry’s salt and often includes it in her recipes. I found I liked using it as well. The recipe leverages another brand of seasoned salt. Give it a try!

For 4 servings, you will need: 

4 tilapia fillets, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds

Olive oil

Jane’s crazy mixed up salt

Heat oven to 400°. Line a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the fillets so they aren’t touching on the sheet. Brush them with olive oil, and shake the salt mixture all over it. Bake the fish fillets for 15 to 18 minutes or until cooked through. The time depends on thickness of the fillets. Fish will flake easily with a fork when done. That's it. Seriously. 

Enjoy.
