Baked Tilapia With Balsamic Browned Butter Glaze

Today is Ash Wednesday... and if you are Catholic, you know what that means:  NO MEAT!  :)  Luckily my family, kids included, loves fish!

This is an absolute favorite recipe in our family, and I made it for dinner tonight.  I originally got the recipe from watching 30 Minute Meals with Rachel Ray.  Since I first made it, I have made some adjustments to it, and will give you the recipe as I made it today.  The beautiful thing about this recipe is it is SO simple!  And only has 5 ingredients.  Perfect for a quick, easy, healthy weeknight dinner!

Enjoy!


Baked Tilapia With Balsamic Browned Butter Glaze


4-6 large Tilapia fillets
garlic salt- to taste
black pepper - to taste

2T butter
1/2 c aged balsamic vinegar


Preheat the oven to 425.  Arrange tilapia fillets on a shallow baking sheet that has been sprayed with non stick spray.  I use a jelly roll pan.  Season the fish to your liking with garlic salt and black pepper.
Bake for 15-20 mins.

While the fish is baking, melt your butter in a shallow sauce pan.  When butter is melted, and just starting to turn brown, add the balsamic vinegar.  Give a quick stir to incorporate the two and then lower your heat to simmer until the vinegar is reduced by half.

Top the fish with the glaze and enjoy!

It started with a thought...

Doesn't it always? 
You have this thought.  And it blossoms into an idea.  And that becomes a nagging voice.

You should do that.
When are you going to do that?
Oh, come on! You know you want to!!

OK!  I did it.  I started a blog.

This will be my place.  My place to let my diva out.  Let her flip her hair and cock her hip and show some 'tude.  Let her brag a bit.  Because she's pretty cool, and she has some pretty fun ideas.  Ideas that I will share, and show off.  Ideas that I will put out there and see what comes back.  Ideas to let soar. 

This is gonna be fun.  :)
