Here is the fish that I served with my Napa Cabbage and Watercress Salad last week.
I really liked the combination because while the fish was warm and spicy the salad was cool and crunchy!
I have really fallen in love with curry powder over the last few months. It is such a simple wasy to add a lot of flavor to a variety of different dishes! I mean all I did to the fish was rub the curry powder and some salt and cayenne pepper right onto it before cooking it up… SO EASY and SO GOOD!
Anyhow, I’m in a bit of a hurry today…but I wanted to post this before I forgot!! Enjoy!!

I love Tilapia! I don’t use store-bought curry powder much as I feel the colour is usually way too yellow and flavour kind of lacking. This this spice blend for a quick home-made version: equal amounts of coriander and cumin powder with a pinch of turmeric and some garlic salt and cayenne pepper to taste. A squeeze of lemon in the end would bring out the flavour and add a lovely tang.
Meena – Thanks for the tip on home made curry powder! I am definitely going to give it a try:).
That fish coated in curry powder looks really tasty.
This looks delicious, could´ve used the curry idea yesterday when I made some fish with salad. But I´m sure it won´t be long until I´ll have some fish.
Your blog is lovely, btw.!
Kevin – Thanks…it was yummy!
Audrey – Thanks for stopping by. You’ll have to try this one next time.
Wow that looks easy enough for me to make! Do you think I could make it with salmon?
I’m gonna try this right now!
that was delicious…of course.
I’m thinking next time i’ll just do the Foreman Grill. You have any other suggestions on what this can be served with?
