Crab-Topped Tilapia

Tilapia is one of my favorite dishes.  It's a healthy fish, low in calories and fat, and high in lean protein and omegas.  This recipe is super-quick and easy and is the perfect companion to Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms.


Ingredients:
1 lb. Tilapia , Thawed (about 4 small or 2 large fillets)
Crab-Mixture (from Crab-Stuffed Mushroom Recipe)

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick butter-flavored cooking spray (or, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray).
2.  Place Tilapia fillets in the baking dish (or on baking sheet).  Using the topping from Crab-Stuffed Mushroom recipe to spoon mixture over the fillets.
3.  Bake in oven for 18-25 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Enjoy!

Serve with a side of risotto, a nice green salad, broccoli, or over steamed spinach (I made it over spinach).  I would also recommend serving with the Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms as a great appetizer.

Tortilla Roll-Ups

With Holiday parties and the Superbowl coming up, I thought I'd post a party snack!  I made these earlier this week for a Junior League Holiday Party I attended.  They are easy to make and are a yummy finger food.  I made two different types of tortilla roll-ups, the "healthy" versions: Dill and Ham Roll-Ups and Crab Roll-Ups.

Dill and Ham Roll-Ups


Ingredients:
1- 8oz Package Neufchatel Cheese (lower in fat and calories than regular Cream Cheese)
2 tsp. Dill
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions
2 - 10" Flour Tortillas (or Whole-Wheat)
12-14 slices of Deli Ham (6-8 oz package)

Directions:
1.  In a small bowl, stir together the Neufchatel cheese, dill, garlic, and chopped green onions.
2.  Spread half of the cheese mixture on each of the tortillas.  Spread 6-7 ham slices on top of each tortilla.
3.  Roll up tightly.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4.  Remove from refrigerator.  Slice each tortilla roll-up into 1" slices.
Serve and Enjoy.

Crab Roll-Ups

Ingredients:

1 - 8oz Package Neufchatel Cheese (lower in fat and calories than regular Cream Cheese)

1/4 Cup Cocktail Sauce 

8 oz Package Crab Meat (I used imitation actually)

1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions

2 - 10" Flour Tortillas (or Whole Wheat)

Directions:
1.  In a small bowl, stir together the Neufchatel cheese, cocktail sauce, crab meat, and chopped green onions.  

2.  Spread half of the cheese/crab mixture on each of the tortillas.  

3.  Roll up tightly.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

4.  Remove from refrigerator.  Slice each tortilla roll-up into 1" slices.

Serve and Enjoy.  You can serve with side of cocktail sauce if you'd like.
