After all of the rich holiday food, we both wanted something light for dinner. While in our local SAMS, I couldn't pass up tilapia a light white fish. The gentleman who checked us out was full of wonderful ideas on how to marinate the fillets to remove the fishy flavor. So I marinated three fillets in a salted milk bath and cooked them for 20 minutes in the oven at 350. Served with my first attempt at the amazingly flavored and deceptively simple rice pilaf, it was a dinner that we will definately have again (which is good since we have 7 fillets left).
Sometimes I just crave a good steak. I am a happy carnivore that enjoys my steak tender but cooked all the way through. I had a piece of steak in the freezer whose partner was tough. Now I pitty the dogs with a rubber steak, flavored like steak. Just because it was rubbery it still tasted good, but it just wasn't palitable. So on my second chance, I soaked its buddy in equal parts of worcestershire and soy sauce with a 1/4 cup of lime juice for an hour. Then I pan seared and cooked the steak with all of the good juices on low. It made the best main dish for a Friday night dinner!
