5 Ingredient Supper

It's been a while. I have lots of excuses most of which center around the freezing winter we are having. But, tonight it is warmer out so I am back at it... My sister and I made a super easy and healthy dinner with just 5 ingredients (not including salt, pepper and margarine, but still - that's only 8 ingredients!): tilapia, onion, lemon, potatoes and mushrooms!!

Grilled Tilapia with Onions & Mushrooms... and Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 tilapia fillets
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 lemon
2 medium potatoes
salt, pepper, 1 tbsp butter


--> Let's get the mashed potatoes started because they take the longest to make. Peel and quarter the potatoes and put in a medium-sized pot with water. Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat to medium (be careful not to let the water boil over!). Eventually, when the potatoes have softened, mash them up with the butter, some salt & pepper.

--> Now we'll work on the fish. If you have a grill pan, it's time to bring it out. Or, if you have a BBQ, turn it on. For this dish, we are simply grilling the tilapia. I used a grill pan - I put the pan over medium heat and then added the fish. Sprinkle the fish with salt & pepper and then squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the fish. Cook for about 3-5 min and then flip over. Repeat with salt & pepper and cook until the fish is done.

--> While the fish is cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and saute the onions and mushrooms together. When the fish is done, pour the onions & mushrooms over the fish and serve with the mashed potatoes. There's dinner!
