Lemon Garlic Tilapia

This is a dish I've made previously, but tonight I served it with a couple of different sides. This is also a recipe that I learned from...last time, I decided that there was way too much lemon juice involved, so I was able to correct that on my second go 'round. The recipe is from allrecipes.com. You'll see it's a baked dish, which normally qualifies it for a FIAFI meal. However, you can only "forget it" for about 15 minutes, as you'll need to begin preparing your sides to serve along with it.

Tonight I served a veggie medley (corn, carrots, green beans, and peas) and a small-portion side of whole-grain linguine. I used frozen veggies--something I don't usually do, but it's definitely cheaper than buying the ingredients separately, and I can only use 1-2 servings as needed. And I'm not a fan of whole-grain pastas, but I'm learning to appreciate them a little more; they are a good 30-40 calories less per serving than regular pastas. (However, I did add a fraction of those calories back by sprinkling about a teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese on the linguine.)

This was a quick and easy dish to make, and I also had a little fun with the presentation. It's a 243 calorie meal, but you can make it less than 150 calories by not serving the pasta.
