Default Hot Day, Hot (but quick!) Dinner

For a change, I've already figured out what I'm having for dinner It's
supposed to be 102F here today with the usual
slap-you-in-the-face-with-a-hot-wet-towel humidity. On the bright side, a
cold snap is coming though over the weekend it's supposed to be in the 80's
on Saturday! Woo hoo!!!!

Anyway, tonight I'll be pan-frying 2 small tilapia fillets in olive oil.
Nothing fancy; just brushed with a little melted butter and sprinkled
lightly with some dried breadcrumbs to which I'll add a little Penzey's
Parisien Bonnes Herbs and a little pepper. To accompany this I'll steam
some fresh green peas (adorned simply with a little butter, salt & pepper)
and heat up a soft whole wheat roll in the microwave to go with it.

A quick meal; shouldn't heat up the kitchen too much (and will be
tasty, too!).

Sounds good! A few days ago, I finally opened a box of Tilapia filets
(from China - I didn't know better) that we'd purchased a couple
months ago. Each TINY filet is individually vacuum packaged, and they
taste terrible. The cats love tilapia sushi, though, so it's not a
total loss.

I wouldn't open it on a bet. It says smile.gif or something.

It's a smiley face! Doh! No idea where it came from. All my settings are
still set to text-only. Hmmmmm.

Anyway, the tilapia fillets: I buy individually cryo-vac'd fillets and are
from Florida. The packaging is clear so you can see the size of the fillet
before you buy it. I'm sorry Dams bought a box of tilapia and they turned
out to be crappy. But I do think I've had the ones from China, too, and
they were fine.

They just taste fishy. I like flavorless fish, or at least really
mild ones. The cats love 'em!

It's not supposed to be fishy; that's sort of the point. Maybe they weren't
flash frozen right on the boat

They're farmed. From what I've read, sanitation isn't of the utmost
importance to some Chinese fish farmers. Broad generalization, but
one that applies in this case.

Fish is very good in summer. And cooked in this way, with fresh herbs,
should be very good and tasty.
I have read you cook green peas only with butter , salt and pepper. And a
little onions? Don't you like it?
