This recipe was inspired by a meal I enjoyed at a restaurant recently. I asked our waiter for the recipe, but all he would tell me is that the sauce contained chili sauce over a glaze. It was the perfect combination of sweet and heat, so I tried to duplicate it at home. Using Tabasco Sweet and Spicy gives the fish its slightly sweet flavor. This recipe was featured in an article in the St Louis Post-Dispatch about me and my book, Living the Thin Life. While this specific recipe isn't in my book, there are many similar healthy, tasty recipes included. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillets |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
2 tablespoons chili sauce |
1 tablespoon tabasco sauce, sweet & spicy variety |
1 dash tabasco sauce, regular |
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Place fish in a large plastic bag. Add olive oil and marinate for one hour. 2. Remove fish from marinade and salt to taste. Cook on preheated grill for 8-10 minutes. 3. Combine chili sauce and Tabasco Sweet & Spicy sauce. Add a dash of regular Tabasco sauce if desired for more heat. 4. Baste fish with sauce and grill for an additional 5 minutes. |
