Weeknight Dinner: Fried Tilapia, White Rice, Mixed Veggies
Start your rice first because it will take longer than the fish and you everything to finish at the same time. Bring it to a boil then let it simmer. Flame height for a gas stove is shown:
Lay your fish out and season with your choice of spices. I used some pepper, garlic/onion powder, and old bay:
These pics show how light the seasoning is one after the other so you get an idea of how much to use:
Then I like to take my hand and moisten it with water to pat the seasoning into the meat:
Heat up a few tablespoons of oil. Just enough to cover about 1/4 of the fish when it is in the pan:
This is what the flame should be like for a gas stove and a stainless steel pan:
Next I use this flour my friend brought back from SC that is preseasoned and put it in a bag with the fish:
Once the oil is at temp, add the fish. Be careful!:
Checking the rice to see if the water is absorbed:
The fish should only need about 4-6 minutes on each side. This can vary by pan and stove type:
Rice is done, so fluff it up with a fork. Get it as loose as possible without mashing it up:
I used Frozen veggies so I just seasoned them with Lemon Pepper ana a lil garlic powder, put them in a container with a few tablespoons of water to steam them and they are done. Toss in a salad and some bread sticks and you're GTG:
Thirty minutes total time to eat a decent meal and it was cheaper then Mickey D's for two people.

Old Bay FTMFGDW. Seriously, I love that shit. Most of us dummies on the west coast don't know about it yet. I remember being in a crab place 2 years ago and being furious that they did not have Old Bay. They had not even heard of it.
