Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

When it rains it pours, especially around here! It started raining about 9:30 this morning and hasn't let up since, even a couple of thunderstorms passing through. They say we have a day or two of this and then clearing and 70 degrees, hope they're right! Not much going on today. For dinner tonight I prepared a Blackened Tilapia Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.

I purchased the Tilapia from Kroger Sunday. 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 a 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. I served it on an Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie hamburger 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.






For a side I baked some of my favorite Fries, Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. Served them with a bit of Hunt’s Ketchup. Had a Snapple Diet Peach Drink also. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
