Crispy Pan Fried Tilapia w/ Sliced Potatoes and Asparagus Cuts and Tips

Dinner Tonight: Crispy Pan Fried Tilapia w/ Sliced Potatoes and Asparagus Cuts and Tips






To start this 8th day of November off I prepared a Scrambled Egg and toasted 2 slices of Aunt
Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread that I lightly Buttered with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. About 30 degrees this morning. Had a high of 50 degrees and partly cloudy out. Spent most of the day house cleaning today. Later in the afternoon I went to Bank for Mom. For Dinner tonight I prepared Crispy Pan Fried Tilapia w/ Sliced Potatoes and Asparagus Cuts and Tips.





I purchased the Tilapia while Jungle Jim's International Market the other day. I had already rinsed it in cold water and had it in plastic bag the freezer. I sat the bag in the fridge and let it thaw overnight.
To prepare it I'll need; the Tilapia, McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Peppercorn Medley, and
Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri. To start I heated Extra Light Olive Oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet was ready I cooked the Tilapia in the hot Oil until Golden Brown, about 4 minutes per side. I had not had Tilapia in a while and it tasted great! Moist with excellent seasoning. Love hitting the Seafood Dept. at Jungle Jim's. They have about anything, they even have tanks of live Tilapia and Trout!



For one side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Homestyle Sliced Potatoes , first time having these.

Again Jungle Jim's is the only place around here that I seen carries this product from Simply Potatoes. To prepare them;  Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet until hot. Add potatoes. Cover
with lid. Cook 5–6 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook an additional 4–5 minutes. According to the package instructions - During cooking, potatoes must reach a temperature of 165degrees F for 2 minutes. Wow what an easy way to have Fried Sliced potatoes! These came out so good and were so easy to prepare! You can use these for several different Potato Recipes including Scalloped Potatoes. I'll have to buy more of these!


I also heated up a can of Del Monte Asparagus Cuts and Tips. Partially drained some of the can's
liquid. Then added the contents to a small sauce pan and cooked on medium high to a boil and then reduced the heat to simmer. Cooked about 7 minutes. Really enjoyed Dinner tonight! For Dessert later a Weight Watcher's Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.
