Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries







Another very cold start to the day, 1 degree this morning! Had a bad case of cabin fever coming on so I got out today before it got any worse! Picked up items at Meijer and Walmart, groceries and finished up my Christmas shopping list. Then dropped a gift and a bag of my Mom's Buckeyes off to one of my best friends, got gas, and ran the car through the car wash to get the dirt and salt off of it, then home. Felt good to get out for a while! For dinner tonight I prepared a Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.







I had the Tilapia in the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare it I rinsed the fillet off in water and patted dry with a paper towel. I seasoned it with a bit of Sea Salt. Then I melted a 1/2 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter down and rubbed the fillet down with it, covering both sides. I then covered both sides, with Zatarain’s Blackening Seasoning. I added Canola Oil to my Cast Iron Skillet and preheated it until the Oil was almost ready to start smoking and I added the Tilapia. Just a word of warning have your window open and overhead stove fan a working, it will smoke! I cooked the fillet for 3 minutes each side and it was fork tender and ready. I love the smokey and heated flavor the Zatarain's Seasoning provides. The fillet just melted in my mouth. I served it on an Meijer Bakery Wheat Mini Sub Bun. I topped it with some Hidden Valley Spicy Chipotle Pepper Sandwich Spread & Dip. If you haven’t tried this Spread, and you like some added heat this is your Spread! It’s not that over powering heat but it is Spicy. It’s a creamy and thick Spread so if you like Spicy give it a try.







I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
