    This one is great and I have made it with Tilapia or cod:

    Grilled Tilapia with Honey and Jalapenos

    1 lb. of Tilapia Filets
    ¼ Yellow Onion Chopped
    Juice from 1 Fresh Lime
    2 Garlic Cloves
    1 Fresh Jalapeno Chopped Fine
    1 Tsp Ground Ginger
    ¼ Cup of Honey
    2 Tbsp Stir Fry Sauce
    2 Tbsp of Low Sodium Soy Sauce

    What to Do

    Combine all the ingredients (except for the Tilapia) together to make a marinade
    Place the Tilapia on a sheet of tin foil with the edges turned up
    Pour the marinade over the fish and place in the refrigerator for about an hour (optional — I wanted quick and easy so I just went straight to the next step)
    Preheat your grill and then place the tilapia (still in the tin foil) on the grill and cook until done (about 5-10 minutes)

    We had this dish last night: Fish on leeks with tomato-topping (recipe serves 4)

    4 fish filets (tilapia, cod, etc.) about 1 lb. total, fresh or thawed
    6 stalks of leek
    1/2 lb grape or cherry tomatoes
    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
    2 1/2 oz french fried onions
    1 1/2 Tbsp oil (e.g. canola)
    salt and pepper to taste

    Directions
    1. Cut ends off leeks and cut them in rings. Put the rings in colander and rinse off well. Heat oil in large pot and add leek. Add salt and pepper to taste and saute leeks till they are soft, about 10 min.
    2. To prepare topping: quarter tomatoes (pieces will be small) and combine in a bowl with fresh parsley and fried onions.
    3. To assemble lay out 4 pieces of aluminum foil, size about 12x15 inch. Divide leeks equally in the middle of each foil and lay fish on bed of leeks, season fish with salt and pepper. Top fish with tomato-parsley-onion-mixture. Cut another 4 pieces of aluminum foil the same size and put on top. Fold up all sides to seal packages.
    4. Arrange packages on baking sheet and bake in pre-heated oven at 400°F for 40 min.
    5. Take of top of foil packages and serve on foil with rice or potatoes. ENJOY!

    My all time favorite chicken marinade recipe:

    his is my favorite marinade for chicken ...You can grill it outdoors, on the stove, counter top grill or cook it in the oven like I do

    1/3 cup light sodium soya sauce
    1 tablespoon lime juice ( i just use the juice of a entire lime so i don't waste it)
    1 teaspoon of your favorite spice I use a heaping teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Garlic Blend
    Salt and Pepper to taste ( i leave out the salt though )

    Mix the marinade together and pour over chicken breasts and marinade up to 4 hours.


    I cook a bunch up at a time and have for sandwiches, salads and with brown rice or bulger and veggies for dinner


    I got the marinade recipe from Runners World Magazine a few years ago

    EASY Salsa Chicken in the crockpot:

    4 chicken breasts, still frozen, if you'd like
    1 jar of salsa, your choice

    Put those two ingredients in the crockpot, low for 8-10 hours. One hour before serving, add a brick of 1/3fat Cream Cheese, making the salsa creamy. Serve over rice.

    We LOVE this recipe in our house. Plus, it's easy, cheap, and is PERFECT for leftovers.

    As for the tilapia, flounder, or any fish, I make foil packets with them. I spray my foil sheet, add the fish, top with the jarred chopped garlic, add some freshly cracked black pepper, and top with thin lemon slices. I either grill them or bake them until done and serve with steamed veggies and rice. (yes, we love rice in my family LOL)

    I haven't personally done it with another cheese, but I bet it would work with other cheeses :)

    I made Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia for dinner last night

    3 tsp of Wegman's Garlic/Cheese Finishing Butter (if not, can make your own with butter/garlic)
    4 Tbsp of fresh grated parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
    Sea Salt
    Pepper
    Herb infused basting oil or Olive oil

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    Melt finishing butter in microwave for 20 seconds, pour into a dish, stir in parmesan and bread crumbs to make a paste.

    Drizzle fish with basting or Olive oil

    Spoon and coat parmesan mixture onto fish (which have been lined in a shallow baking dish)

    Season with Sea salt/pepper.

    Bake for 45 min.

    Enjoy (This recipe was enough for 4 pieces of tilapia).
