George Foreman Approved.

Raise your hand if you owned a George Foreman grill in college {me! me! me!}  Alright, now raise your hand if you still own said grill {ummmm…me?! me?! me!?}  It’s true.  I still own mine.  And I use it ALL the dang time.  I flippin’ LOVE that thing!  I can’t grill to save my life, and I hate waiting for Mr. Spouse to get home so we can fire up the big one, so you’d better believe that my mini grill…aka: my “Foreman”…gets a lot of play in my kitchen.  That’s how I roll.  Here’s one of my FAVORITE Foreman recipes. I first started making this when I was on the South Beach Diet about 6{ish} years ago {a mini high school reunion was coming up} and this was one of my saving grace dishes.  Even though this recipe isn’t George Foreman endorsed, I have a feeling he’d definitely approve!!!!

 

GRILLED FISH AND PEPPERS

1 cup Zesty Italian Dressing

2 tsp. crushed red pepper

4 tilapia filets {I use the frozen tilapia :)}

2 red peppers, sliced into thin strips

2 green peppers, sliced into thin strips

2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

2 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro {optional.  I didn’t use it!}

 

This is all you’ll need.

Mix the dressing and red pepper together until well blended.

Cut the peppers into thin slices and toss into a gallon-sized ziplock baggie with the fish filets. 

Now pour the dressing/red pepper combo into the bag of veggies & fish, zip it up, and shake the heck out of it.  I mean, really shake it good!!!

Refrigerate the fish/pepper/dressing combo for about 15-20 minutes, just long enough to marinate.  Now toss the peppers and fish on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes and then turn the fish over.

Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork!  When it’s finally ready…which WON’T take long at.all…transfer to plate and serve with grilled peppers.

You can sprinkle with cheese…and cilantro, too, if that’s your thing.  I actually left out both the cheese and the cilantro and I can honestly say that this is one of my FAVORITE fish dishes!!!  We haven’t had this in a while, but when I made it, Mr. Spouse said, “Why don’t we have this more often?!”  Good question.  If you’re a fan of fish, then you definitely need to add this recipe to your menu!!  It’s light, but filling, and a great addition to your “healthy” cooking choices!!
