I couldn’t wish for a better fish dish.
Butter, lemon, and almonds make this fish anything but common.
Super yummy and oh, so simple, it makes me want to sing a jingle.
Only five ingredients and 20 minutes to prep and cook will keep your evening from becoming overbooked.
So quick and easy, I had extra time to come up with this little rhyme.
Is it Tilapia that you doubt? Try flounder, sea bass, or even trout.
If you give it a try, please share your results and don’t be shy.
Thank you so much for stopping by. You are so very, very fly.
