Lemon Pepper Fish with Avocado and Tomato Salad

This is by far my FAVORITE dinner dish to make. Not only is it healthy and absolutely delicious - but it takes me less than 20 minutes to make and I spend less than $15.00 at Whole Foods for the main ingredients!

Recipe

Lemon Pepper Fish
lemon pepper spice
1 tbsp of Dijon mustard
tilapia (or whatever fish you would like to use)
olive oil

Heat oven to 375F.

Lay out aluminium foil on a deep dish pan. Drizzle a little olive oil on the foil. Place fish on top and spread a little Dijon mustard on the top side - this adds a little more taste and the spice sticks better to the fish. Sprinkle the lemon pepper spice on the mustard. Flip the fish and repeat spreading the mustard and sprinkling on the lemon pepper. Close the tin foil up so the fish is enclosed - bake for 12 minutes or until the middle of the fish can flake off with a fork.

 While the fish is in the oven, you can start making the salad.

Avocado & Tomato Salad
1 Avocado, diced
12 Grape Tomatoes, diced
Feta Cheese (optional)
Balsamic Vinegar
Pinch of Salt

In a bowl, carefully put in your diced avocado and tomatoes. If you want, you can add in feta cheese - although cheese is my favorite food, I actually don't care for it too much in this salad, but others I have served this to love the feta in it. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and a dash of salt. Be careful - the balsamic vinegar can be strong so start with less and add more if you need to.

Carefully mix the salad so the balsamic vinegar and salt are evenly mixed in.

And that's it! Pair the fish and salad with a nice piece of fresh bread - I mix up a little olive oil and a flavored balsamic vinegar. I recently purchased flavored vinegars from Sapore in Capitol Hill, DC.  (Try their Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar - its to die for!) Enjoy!
