Fast 15 Minute Dinner: Mustard Caper Baked Tilapia

What do you call a fish with a tie?
Sofishticated.

Yesterday, I went on a long bike ride and the husband went on a run, so we both got home exhausted.  Ok, what to do for dinner.....

We had some tilapia in the fridge and decided on a quick mustard caper sauce versus a lemon pepper something or other.  (I think we were both craving salt)  No matter.  This is a great flavorful recipe that can be executed from start to table in about 15 minutes (awesome).  We served ours up with some sauteed okra, but this would also be good with some cheesy rice if you have the time.

Here's what you need:
2 pieces of tilapia
1 teaspoon of grainy mustard
2-3 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of drained capers
1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic
a couple of splashes of white wine or about 3-4 tablespoons
2-3 teaspoons of fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
fresh squeezed lemon juice to taste

Fish Tacos with Mustard White Wine Vinaigrette

What is a taxi driver's favorite kind of vegetable?
A cab-bage.

Man, I love me some Fish Tacos.  I mean, really, you can't get much better.  They're fast, easy, and full of delicious veggies and beuatimous flavor.

You can use almost any fish; I like Tilapia because it is cheap, light and flaky.  To balance out the fish, I used some extra crunchy veggies: red cabbage, carrots, green peppers and radishes (mainly because that is what we had in the fridge).  The sauce (or dressing-ish) is a mustard white wine vinaigrette, very tangy and light.

Here's what you need for 2 people/ 4 tacos:
2 pieces of Tilapia
red cabbage, (we used half of one and had leftover slaw for the next night)
2 carrots
1 green pepper
4 radishes
4 whole wheat tortillas
For the dressing/sauces:
1 lemon, juiced
Dijon mustard
apple cider vinegar
white wine, Chardonnay etc.
extra virgin olive oil
Italian flat leaf parsely
salt and pepper to taste
