Browned Butter Tilapia with Bacon

Here's another recepie of mine. With Easter approaching, I have taken a break since I haven't really been eating as healthy as I would like or working out as much as I would like. I dunno, I guess I had a lot on my mind. Yay for excues.

But I decided I wanted Tilapia for lunch today. Tilapia is a white fish full of protein. I didn't want just plain seasoned tilapia though. I decided on making it with browned butter.

Browned Butter Tilapia with Bacon:

Ingredients:
1 tilapia fillet
5 tbls of butter
1 handful of pecans, roughly chopped
3 strips of bacon
a handful of parm cheese


Using a skillet on medium heat, brown the butter. Add the chopped pecans. Remove the sauce from the pan. Chop the three strips of bacon and cook until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Keeping the bacon fat and butter residue in the pan, start cooking the tilapia in the same pan. Cook on both sides for 3 minutes each, medium high heat.

On a plate, arrange the tilapia in the center. Spoon the bacon crumbles over the fish. Add the brown butter sauce over the bacon and fish. Add the parm cheese over the fish.

This is seriously delicious. You should try this.
