8 Tilapia filets (if frozen, thaw)

12 cloves garlic, crushed and diced large

5 Tbsp butter

8 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided

6 tsp Parsley (fresh or dried)

2 tsp Oregano (fresh or dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400°. Melt butter on a low flame in a small sauce pan. Add garlic and sauté on low for ~1 min. Add all but 2 Tbsp of the lemon juice, shut off flame, and remove from heat.

Lightly spray the bottom of two 9x13 baking dishes. Add 1 Tbsp of the lemon juice to each pan. Place the fish in the pans. Add seasonings. Pour the lemon butter mixture on the fish (dividing evenly between pans) and top with fresh parsley for garnish. Bake at 400° until cooked, ~15 min (or until semi-golden).

Salmon

This is Adam's favorite meal and one the whole family loves. Too bad salmon is so expensive!

Atlantic Salmon (I buy skinless filets at Costco.)

Lemon juice

1/2 Tbsp butter per filet

Sea salt

Pepper, coarse black

If frozen, thaw salmon in the fridge for 8-10 hours or run filets (in individual packaging) under cool water for 15-20 min. Spread butter in the bottom of a glass pan. Pour a little lemon juice over it. Place filets in pan. Pour lemon juice over them and generously grind salt and pepper over them. Bake at 350° for 20 min. Gently turn filets over, salt that side and bake another 5 minutes. Make sure internal temperatures reach 145° F. Serve with rice and veggies.

2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ c butter or margarine
2 cans of tuna (12 oz total)
2 cubes pureed vegetables (optional)
Bread, toasted

Blend cornstarch in with cold milk so there are no lumps. Add all ingredients and stir constantly on medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add tuna and pureed vegetables. Serve over toast.

I love to mix sweet peas with my tuna and bread, but Jon and the kids prefer to keep them separate.
