My salmon and sprouts recipe was so popular, I thought I would try another fish recipe. Let me preface this by saying that I think one of the most difficult things about cooking is timing. Not necessarily knowing when to pull the dish out of the oven, but how to make multiple side dishes and a main dish, all temperature appropriate at the same time. For the most part, I have not mastered this. There is unavoidably some lack time and then I find myself sneakily heating something up in the mircowave for a few seconds so no one can tell. I prefer these side dishes to the sprouts just because I was able to avoid that and feel like a master chef without my sneaky trip back to the ten second oven. The asparagus and tilapia went in at the same temperature for the same amount of time, meaning they were done together. BAM. The cauliflower mashed potatoes were done entirely on the stove so you can time it out and also have that dish completed at the same time as the other two. It's almost too easy. The fresh flavors of the tilapia and herbs have made this fish a staple on my grocery list. And the asparagus, oh jeez - this is by far the best recipe I've ever tried. We have made it three times and never been able to stop ourselves from finishing it all. Leftovers? Aint nobody got time for that.
