Tilapia is low in sauturated fat, calories, carbohydrates ,sodium and a good source of protein. Eating right can be expensive, this quick and easy meal is good for you and easy on the pocket book.
Ingredients:
1 to 1 1/2 lbs of fresh Tilapia
1 pound of Asparagus
Wild rice or brown rice (whichever you prefer)
1 small root of fresh Ginger
1/4 teaspoon of Soy Sauce or less to suit your taste
Cedar Plank for grilling
Light Season salt if desired
Sheet of foil
Since Tilapia and Asparagus does not take long to cook, you should put your rice on first.
Rinse Tilapia in cold water and set aside
Make a foil wrap large enough to hold at least two to three fillets of fish, punch small holes in bottom of the foil so that when you place it on your cedar plank the flavor can pass thru.
Place the Tilapia in the foil and add your 1/4 teaspoon of Soy Sauce across the top of all fillets. Sprinkle with light season salt if desired.
Now cut three to four dime sized slices of ginger and place on top of your fillets. **You don’t need a lot as ginger adds a lot of flavor.
Now place your Cedar Plank on grill over coals until it begins to smoke.
While waiting for the plank to smoke rinse your Asparagus and have ready to place on plank alongside with your Tilapia.
Place your Tilapia on the plank and your Asparagus. Grill until fish becomes flakey. No need to turn fish.
Note: Fish will cook quickly, so watch it. If this is your first time don’t cover it but once you get a feel for it try placing a foil sheet on top to hold in even more flavor!
