Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Ok so this is going to be really easy. I made this the other night and to be honest very pleasantly surprised that I liked it as much as I did. There is no recipe for Mango Salsa but if anyone has a good recipe to share that would be great. I simply bought a container of Mango and Peach Salsa at Costco and used it for the garnish. That part was a great finishing touch.

Ingredients:

3-4 Tilapia Fillets
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Lime Juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Mango Salsa

Directions:

Pour oil in frying pan and heat up. Sear fish in pan with lime juice, salt and pepper. Sear each side for about 7 minutes each. Fish is done when it starts to flake. Don't overcook. Serve up individual servings and garnish tops of each fish with 1 Tbsp Mango Salsa. Enjoy!

Tuna Noodle Salad

I made this the other day. Quite simple and well hubby liked it so I put it on here simply so he has reference to another recipe to choose for dinner and I remember everything that I put into it. Although it is pretty basic and not varied too much when I make it. Some measurements depends on your preference. Usually; I go more vegetables and less mayo, to keep it as fresh tasting as possible. You could if you wanted to, add 3 chilled hard boiled eggs diced to salad as well. This kind of meal is usually whatever you want it to be.

Ingredients:

8 oz of shell or rigatoni pasta
2 6 0z cans tuna
1 1/2-2 cups frozen or fresh peas
1 1/2-2 cups shredded carrots
1 6 oz can whole olives
1/2-1 cup mayo

Directions:

Cook pasta according to directions on package. Strain water from pasta in strainer. Once water is fully strained of hot water place strainer with pasta in it, into large bowl and add ice cold water to cool noodles down. If using frozen peas, add to noodles to thaw. Let sit for approx. 10 minutes. Dump remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl (or dish you wish to serve in, I'm all for using less dishes). When peas are thawed and pasta is cool lift strainer from water. Dump pasta and peas into mixing bowl and stir ingredients together. Serve immediately or place into fridge for later. Great for a nice warm day. Enjoy!
