Fiesta tilapia

I made up a recipe. Go me! Well, ok, it's probably more accurate to say I borrowed one I read on all recipes and then adjusted it for city apartment living. You see, I love grilling. I will grill anything. Especially pineapple. Swoon. But since I'm not going to whip out the hibachi at 830pm after the toddler is in bed I wanted a recipe that I could make stovetop. Although playing Caribbean steel drum tunes may be optional at your house.

1-4 fresh tilapia fillets
1 14oz can of tropical fruit salad
1 t Chinese chili garlic sauce
1 T brown sugar
1 T butter
1-2 bunches of chard. (rainbow is good with the fiesta theme. Plus
have you ever seen anything so beautiful?)
1-2 c rice
















Pour the juice from the fruit over the fish in an oven safe dish. Add a few pats of butter in between each piece of fish. Cover in tinfoil.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Chop up the fruit in another bowl and add the garlic sauce and brown sugar and stir together.
Wash the chard and steam in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and some of the fruit juice. Serve fish over chard with a side of rice. Add a few big spoonfuls of the chopped fruit mixture and be sure to add a spoonful of the juice mixture from the fish over the rice! Yum!
