BAM! Asian Baked Tilapia

Saturday night I was lucky enough to get tickets to see none other than the godfather of Food Network, Emeril Lagasse! The show was 90 mins, he did a Q and A session for 45 mins. The other 45 he spent cooking it up in the kitchen. I reinvented his Asian Flounder dish.


- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 TBS dark seasame oil
- 1 TBS olive oil
- juice from 1 lemon
- 3 scallions julienned
- 1 TBS dijion mustard
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 9 oz. Bag baby spinach
- 2 carrots peeled into strips
- creole seasoning
- 2 tilapia fillets

1. Whisk first 8 ingredients in large mixing. Gently toss in spinach and carrots. Fill the bottom of a baking dish with half of the spinach mixture.
2. Season tilapia fillets with creole seasoning and place in top of spinach.
3. Put the rest of the spinach on top of the fish and drizzle any remaining liquid. Bake dish for 20-25 mins at 350 degrees.

I served with brown rice. Sooo good!
