Baked Tilapia..in a pouch :)

  • 1 1/2 lb of Tilapia
  • 1 bag of frozen sugar snap peas
  • 1/2 cup sliced sweet onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce, or more, to taste
  • 1 tbsp EVOO
  • 1 lemon, sliced into thin circles
  • Spices: Kosher salt, cracked black pepper, lemon pepper, Paul Prudhomme seafood seasoning or Old Bay (eyeball, just a sprinkle on each side of the fish)
  • 2 paper pouches/bags
Preheat oven to 375. Blanch the peas in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes and then transfer to an ice bath for quick cooling. In a medium size skillet over medium high heat add the EVOO and saute your celery and onions for about 3 minutes. Add your cooled peas to the skillet with the soy sauce and cook for an additional minute, just until all veggies are heated. Season your fish with the salt, pepper, lemon pepper and seafood seasoning. Layer your veggies inside the bag/pouch, top the veggies with the fish, then top the fish with the lemon circles. Bake on the top rack for 20 minutes. Let it set at room temp for about 3-5 minutes. Cut open the top of the bag and enjoy. They turned out perfect and was DELISH!!!

Optional: Before adding your seasoning to the fish, try brushing the fish with a sweet Thai chili sauce. Gives it a great crust. Then add your seasoning. Or, add about a tbsp of the chili sauce to your sauteed veggies.
