Margarita Mix Tilapia on the Fly

3 Tilapia Loins
1/2 of a Fresh Lime (use juice and zest)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove of Garlic
1 tsp of Cilantro
1Tbsp Parsley
1tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup Leeks sliced
1/4 cup bottled Margarita Mix w/ Tequila added already.
4 pads of Butter
1tsp of Salt and Pepper or to taste

In a large skillet pour Olive Oil then add 1 Butter pad, Leeks, Parsley, Garlic, and Cilantro sauté on medium to low heat until tender. Now you will need to add Tilapia Lions and dust them with the Salt, Pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, and Lime Zest. Lastly pour in the Margarita Mix, fresh Lime Juice, and place 3 Butter pads on  top of each loin.  Bring to a simmer, then cover with lid on low heat for 20 min. Make sure that you check to make sure that the loins still have some liquid around them to poach and spoon liquid on to loins once or twice during cooking. Should serve 3 people.

I served this main course with a Green Salad and Kidney Beans with Garlic Rice.  Yummy!  My family said that this was a new favorite! Let me know what you think?





**I am not a cook or a chef with any kind of formal training, just someone who likes to cook. This is a recipe that I created myself.
