I will be the first to admit that I am a huge sucker for fish recipes. In fact I would be completely fine if I alternated all my dinners between fish and steak. Oh man that would be the grand life. Unfortunately I don’t think my family will see those same visions as me.
One of my first fish posts for A Zesty Bite was this healthy Mediterranean tilapia dish. It’s loaded with powerful flavors that will make your taste-buds thank you each time you take a bite.
I promise.
This tilapia recipe will also help you maintain that figure that you know all of us are wanting for the New Year.
