Costa Rican Tilapia

Tomorrow is a special anniversary and it got me thinking of Costa Rica where I was last autumn. Those were warm days and warm nights on the beach with friends and family. Good times. (Except for that darn monkey that stole my phone)! This is an easy recipe to make and nutritionally a 4 oz. fillet has 28 grams of protein, 140 calories, 4 grams of fat with no carbohydrates and low sodium.

For two fillets use a marinade of 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of minced cilantro, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and a half a teaspoon of salt. Marinade in a plastic bag for a minimum of twenty minutes, turning several times. Bake or grill and serve with vegetables native to CR like fresh green beans or squash and finish with desert of baked bananas with a sprinkling of brown sugar.
