Baked Tilapia Apple Crisp for #SundaySupper

I am sure some of you read the title of this post twice. Maybe even three times. And even after that, I am sure some of you said, "Really?" I am here to tell you, yes. Really.

I like to make fish at least once a week. Mondays are my day since I do my food shopping on Sunday and I buy my fish fresh that day. Since I have a five year-old, I am always looking for new ways to make it interesting, exciting, and most important, edible. With that in mind, this recipe was born. It's amazing what the mind will do when faced with the challenge of getting a pre-schooler to eat fish that is not breaded, frozen, and fried. (I do make my own "fish sticks" now and then, but I bake them.)



The whole "bake it in foil with some fruit/vegetables" thing has been done so many times, so many ways. But this way, I get to convince Peanut she is having dessert for dinner.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 Tilapia Filets
• 1/2 apple, cubed (I like Gala apples.)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• breadcrumbs

Tools:

• Aluminum Foil
• Cookie Sheet

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 400. Line cookie sheet with foil.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine, soy sauce, mustard, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Believe it or not, these flavors combined actually taste good. Add cubed apple to mixture to coat.
3. Place your Tilapia filets on the foil. Fold up the foil to make a pouch. Pour apple mixture on top.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, until apples are a little soft.
5. Spinkle breadcrumbs and a little more brown sugar on top, for an extra crisp. Broil for 3-5 minutes.
6. Watch in amazement as your child eats it.

Making it Peanut-friendy:

• I'm all about quick. And this takes a half hour tops. That means more time with Peanut.
• Serve it over couscous for a one-bowl, self-contained hit meal. Or saute some green beans as a side dish.
