Here’s an interesting fact about Marguerite that we recently learned—she was not a huge fan of seafood!  We learned from Aaron’s mother that Marguerite only made fish recipes on Friday’s during lent, and made seafood recipes to appeal to her other family members, such as Aaron’s mom, Mercedes.  She was devoutly Catholic, so Fish Fridays were important to her. After we learned this fact, we flipped through the book and realized just how few seafood recipes there are! We will feature a favorite seafood recipe of Mercedes’ in a few weeks, but for now, on to this fish fillet recipe.

Here’s what Marguerite had to say:

Aaron typically takes notes while making recipes to denote what time we started and any other pertinent information to refresh our memories when it comes time to write our posts.  This fish recipe was so simple, he completely forgot to write a single thing down!

This fish fillet recipe was a little too basic. So much so, that I felt it was nothing special when it came time to try it.  I have since discovered that I don’t care for most mild fish and so far prefer salmon over most all others I’ve tried. It was “meh” enough that I almost wanted to put it on the dud list and not even write about it.

I don’t think Aaron would run out and buy tilapia (like we chose this time) in bulk to make this dish for himself every day, but he did like it more than I.  He enjoys the flavor and consistency that ingredients like sour cream give to a dish, and was very excited to be able to use one of our new found favorite spices, paprika, again.

This fish fillet recipe isn’t as healthy as a fillet with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, but it is just as quick and easy to prepare!  So if you want to try a new recipe that won’t take a lot of time, give this a try!
