Steamed Tilapia with fresh Dill and Basil...



Have I mentioned how much I'm loving my Aerogarden?

My mom in law got me the 6 pod version 'just because', even though I told her it was supposed to be a Christmas gift.

Anyway... the Genovese Basil grows like gangbusters, and the Fernleaf Dill isn't far behind. The Mint is doing ok, the Chives, Thyme and Oregano are growing well too.

So I had to find a use for all that Dill and some of the Basil (already used a lot in spaghetti sauce earlier).



Friday afternoon, I made up tinfoil packets of tilapia fish, dill, basil, fresh ground pepper, sea salt and a few splashes of lemon juice. That's it. Then I stuck then in the fridge for dinner later.





After I did a homecheck for ARMAC, I stuck then in the oven at 450 degrees for 20 minutes to steam, basically, in their own juices and the lemon juice. meanwhile, I steamed some french style green beans (frozen), and boiled up some 4 color pasta.



Needless to say, it was quite good, and I'll definitely be doing this again soon. Maybe with some Salmon for Mark...
