For some reason, it always tastes better when someone else cooks it. It’s a shame because my husband loves to fish and he always catching a lot and gives them away.
I usually keep one to try, but he hates to filet the fish and I hate picking out the bones to eat it. When I do get my hands on a good fish filet, I like baking it with oil or butter and various spices.

- This is so simple, I cant believe I couldnt find it anywhere on zaar. The onion keeps the fish from drying out and gives a lovely mild flavor. We especially like.
- Try Giada De Laurentiis' Salmon Baked in Foil recipe from Everyday Italian on Food Network. This foil packet method keeps the fish extra tender and moist.

One of the spices is alway garlic because it really enhances the flavor of the meat. Although baked fish is tasty by itself, I decided to try a spinach tilapia salad for an easy low carb summer meal. To give it extra flavor, a creamy avocado dressing was served on top.
Spinach has a lot more nutrients than plain iceburg lettuce which is mainly water. And, I prefer it over romaine. That’s why it’s my favorite choice for a low carb salad. To make the tilapia salad, seasoned fillets are topped with butter and garlic then baked in a foil lined pan with bell pepper and tomatoes. Yellow peppers are used to add in additional color. Once the fish is flaky, it’s removed. You do need to make sure you don’t overcook the meat or it will be dry.
However, the garlic butter adds a nice flavor and healthy fat. When I do cook fish, it’s typically either baked or grilled outside. Although I love the taste of pan fried, it just makes a mess and can smell up the house. I never get the fishy odor when baking fish. So, that’s the method used for cooking the meat in this tasty spinach tilapia salad. The low carb creamy avocado dressing is so simple to make. You simply add all the ingredients into a blender and give it a whirl.

Don’t worry about the plain yogurt in the dressing. Although you wouldn’t know it from the label, if there’s no sugar added, plain whole milk yogurt is a low carb. I used to shy away from yogurt because of the milk sugar. But, it turns out that most of the sugar is consumed by the culture. See this post to read why. I went back to see if I had many fish recipes. Turns out I don’t!
I do have post written after my son made a dish with the fish he caught. That old blog post brings back memories. You can see it here. Easy Cheesecake Recipes. My son is now getting ready to graduate college with one semester left. I’m thinking I need to work on more low carb fish recipes. What do you think?
