tilapia w/ prosciutto & sage

Tonight was another one of those great little meals that was complete - start to finish - in under 20 minutes. And delicious to boot! It also only took 3 ingredients (plus oil and pepper). Bliss. Here's what you'll need:

  • Tilapia fillets
  • Prosciutto (2 paper-thin slices per fillet)
  • Sage
  • Olive oil
  • Pepper

Begin by cutting the fillet in half and patting each half dry. Sprinkle with a little pepper - not salt needed due to the prosciutto. Tear off a few leaves of sage and hold them against the tilapia with one hand. With the other, wrap a couple slices of prosciutto around the fillet, securing the sage. The prosciutto should hold itself together pretty nicely.

Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place the tilapia in the skillet (prosciutto seam side down) and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the size of your fillet.

Remove and serve. Really simple flavor combinations for a great weeknight meal.

Bon chappétit!
