Creamy Mint Tilapia

This unique and healthy tilapia offers a creamy, minty, flavor that pairs well with this perfectly cooked, and flaky fish!

Do you ever get sick of the same old, same old? I know I do. I make tilapia and other fish frequently for lunches while my kids are at school. They don’t love fish as much as I do.

And while I love tilapia, I usually make it into fish tacos. But lately I’ve really wanted something new. I also wanted to cook in my Sous Vide oven, because it is so easy and low hassle.

Well remember how I told you guys about the freezer meal exchange group I started? (You can read about how to start one yourself here.) Well, during the summer one of the participants did some kind of chicken kabob, and they included a mint sauce that was tasty.

I was thinking about that mint sauce and thought it would be nice with tilapia. Tilapia is such a mild fish, and it takes on flavors really well, so I figured I would give it a try.

So I whipped up the sauce, spread about half of it over the tilapia filets to cook them with, and reserved the other half to season after they are cooked.

I feel like this is not a common topping for tilapia, at least not that I have seen, and it was risky making it this way. I hoped I wasn’t wasting good ingredients.

*Note: If you do not have a Sous Vide, you can prepare sauce, coat fish and bake at 350 for 18 minutes.

If you love tilapia, and you like creamy, feta, and rich mint, this makes for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

      I can’t believe how much I love it! I use it almost every day for lunch. I just make my lunch while I am making the kid’s breakfast, then clean it all up and my kitchen stays relatively clean until dinner.

    I’m no a big fish eater, but when I do it is always a mild fish like tilapia. One of my favorite recipes is a tilapia recipe. This sounds wonderful. I need to check into this sous vide oven. Thanks for sharing!

    We love tilpaia here. It is really the only fish I can even get my husband to eat at all since it does have such a mild flavor. I love all the flavors you have going on in that creamy sauce- sounds delicious! 🙂
