Recipe coming at you for and oven baked crispy fish! This is a really easy and simple dish that can be thrown together on a week night. I used cod but really any mild white fish will work. Tilapia would be really good. Ingredients: 

• 2 small cod filets (I used one big one, cut in half)
• 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
•  1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dill
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Pat the filets of fish dry with a paper towel
3. Season both sides with salt and pepper
4. On a plate, mix together the rest of the seasonings and bread crumbs
5. Whisk the egg in a bowl
6. Dip each of the fish filets in the egg and place onto bread crumb mixture and fully coat
7. Place filets on a pan greased with cooking spray and into the oven
8. Bake for five minutes, flip, and bake for another five minutes
9. Turn oven to broil and broil for about one minute or until golden brown

I served mine with roasted vegetables, tomato slices and a dollop of tzaziki.

Enjoy!

Happy St. Patty's Day! I've got a yummy recipe for you. Last night I made this spinach, corn and bacon dish along with some grilled chicken for a really flavorful and healthy dinner. The bacon and corn add a lot of flavor! The thing with cooking and what you'll see in this blog (once I get more recipes posted) is that everything I make on a week day or night has to take less than 30 minutes. I don't make anything fancy schmancy but I like it to taste fancy schmancy.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot
• 3-4 cloves garlic
• 1 red bell pepper
• 3/4 cup sweet yellow corn (I used frozen)
• 4-6 cups roughly chopped spinach*
• 2-3 slices bacon
• 1 teaspoon each of salt & pepper
• Mrs. Dash garlic & herb seasoning (can also use regular garlic powder)

Directions:

• Chop shallots, garlic, pepper and spinach

• Add oil to medium pan and bring to medium heat
• Add garlic, shallots and pepper and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the pepper becomes slightly tender

• While the above is cooking, place the bacon on a pan to bake in either a toaster oven or oven. Bake on 350 degrees for about 5-10 minutes (this really depends on your preference of how crispy you want your bacon!)
• Add in spinach, corn and seasonings to pepper mixture and stir frequently while spinach wilts
• Once bacon is done, pat off oil, chop in small pieces and add to spinach
• Turn heat down to low and cook for 1-2 more minutes before serving

I added some BBQ sauce and it hit the spot! And then I got into this:

Delisshhhh. I'll be back later with a recap post about my weekend at Auburn University for the Evolve Fitness Conference!

Have a wonderful Tuesday,
