I started with this recipe...

So my dad asked for a fish dish and this one definitely sounded delicious for dinner tonight!


Ingredients:
Fish:
4 cuts of Tilapia
Lime Zest
Lime juice - about 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
A pinch of salt and pepper

Couscous:
Plain Couscous - 1 cup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup parsple
1 tablespoon diced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Lemon zest

Veggies:
Green Beans
Zuchini
Garlic Salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice



 Mix up a marinade for the tilapia with all of the ingredients for the fish except for the flour, salt, and pepper.
 Put the tilapia in a bowl with the marinade for about 30 minutes.
 While the fish was marinating I started the couscous and veggies. Make the couscous according to the package but also put all of the ingredients in the boiling water. 
 Once the water is boiling,  put the couscous in the pan and take off direct heat. (This will be done in about 5 minutes)
 Make your flour, salt, and pepper mixture for coating the fish. These ingredients are just spred on a plate for easy coating.
 Put all of the ingredients for the veggies into a pan and let simmer. (This will be done about the time your fish is done)
Coat both sides of each tilapia filet in the flour mixture. This will only be a thin coat.
 Allow your oil to heat in your fry pan and place the coated fish in once the oil is simmering. Leave the fish on one side for 4 minutes and flip.
 

 Then let the tilapia cook on the other side for about 2-3 minutes. Don't touch the fish until you're flipping or taking off the heat!!!!

Plate and Enjoy!!!
