Pan Grilled Tilapia with Lemon Caper Dressing

This is one of my favorites. The lemon caper dressing makes the dish. I love it.

 
Season tilapia fillet with salt, pepper, garlic powder or fish seasoning and put it in a non stick pan over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

Brush half lemon with olive oil and place it on the hot grill, cut side down. Grill lemon until nicely browned, about 5 minutes, turning once. Let it cool and squeeze it in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of drained capers and some olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Wisk and adjust seasoning. (you can skip the olive oil)
Drizzle fish with lemon caper dressing. Serve with steamed broccoli.

Rotisserie Chicken with Salad

No time to cook? No problem. Rotisserie chicken is the solution.
Saturday night is turkey or chicken and sunday for lunch is the same.
Just go and buy one, make a salad and the dinner is ready.
Do you have leftover chicken? That means you have lunch next day :-)

This is the hard part: REMOVE THE SKIN. Just close your eyes and do it. Serve it with salad. Enjoy it.
