BSI: Baked tilapia with a PEAR mango salsa
Snack today was pumpkin yogurt (60 g pumpkin, 2.5 oz fage 0%) with 1/2 cup golean and 7 g mini chocolate chips.
After work I rushed over to the gym and burned 290 calories lifting. I had such a good upper body + abs workout!!!! But enough of this chitter chatter because I want to hurry up and tell you about my BSI dinner!!
Dinner was… amazing!!!!!!!!! A fun experiment that went realllly well.
PB drove up tonight since he has work in CT tomorrow and I decided it was a perfect time to make my BSI recipe! When Erica of Itzy’s Kitchen chose pears I got super excited as they are so yummy right now. I started dreaming up my recipe right away and tested it out tonight. PB kept raving about it (thanks PB) and I really enjoyed it too. It felt super decadent although it was really healthy.
Here’s it is:
Baked tilapia with a PEAR mango salsa
The tilapia:
Ingredients:
1 lb tilapia
4 oz white wine
1 whole lemon
salt and paprika to taste
a dash of parsley
Directions: Set the oven to 400 degrees. Place the washed tilapia in a pyrex and season the fish. Pour the wine over it and squeeze half a lemon over the whole thing. Slice the other half lemon into rounds and place over fish. Bake for 20 minutes.
PEAR mango salsa:
Ingredients:
1 sweet red pear
1 large mango
1/2 red onion
1/2 avocado
salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients: Peel and slice the red pear, avocado and mango into cubes. Dice the red onion. Toss together with a bit of salt and pepper.
To put it together:
When the fish is done plate it and spoon a bit of the PEAR mango salsa over it. Enjoy!
My plate:
I roasted 2 potatoes for PB and made a plain mixed green salad with balsamic dressing to go with it.
Let me tell you, the combination of fish with pear, mango, avocado and onion was incredible. I’m sorry I don’t really know how many calories and such are in this because the only thing I measured exactly was the fish (I had 6 oz). You all seriously have to try this dish, it was sooooo good!
After having this nice light meal I made us some tea, but saw a USPS box peeking out at me. What was it? My donation box of goodies from Katie over at goodthingscatered! I opened up the box and PB and I dug in, and er, I def had 1.5 cookies (kind of mad at myself but they were seriously worth it)!!! Thanks Katie, these are so amazing!!!!!
Oh, and before I forgot…. GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watching the game with my PhillyBoy instead of cleaning!

Drooling.

Great idea for the BSI this week –
OH wow – that salsa looks amazing!
Looks so awesome! I have to come up with my own recipe for the BSI, but after I make mine I will definitely try this!
this was a great dish, thanks for the recipe! (by the way, what white wine did you use? I used a chardonay and i think it may have been too strong of a flavor for this recipe . . . thoughts?)
rav1979- I used a really light pinot grigio.. i’ve never tried it with chardonnay, but in general I don’t really like it so I always use a light pinot grigio for cooking. I don’t really see the wine making much of a difference though, perhaps it didn’t have enough time to cook off?
Okay so this fish looks SO GOOD. I printed it out and I’m going to make this FOR SURE. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks!
Thanks, Jenn! Let me know how you like it!
It was SO GOOD. LOVED it!!!
