So, this easy peasy limey-squeezy (too much?) dinner is one that I actually eat on a very regular basis. And by regular I mean 2-3 times/ week. It s THAT good and THAT easy. It s my go-to-I-just-got-home-from-work-and-I-dunno-what-to-eat-so-cilantro-lime-tilapia-it-is dinner. creme fraiche Although, sometimes I switch the toppings up and make this Peanut Lime Tilapia instead. I live life on the edge guys.
So there me and the hubs are He s eating his morning Cheerios (since he works graveyards, dinner time is breakfast time and he doesn t enjoy ocean dwellers for breakfast) and I m eating fish. It s a weird little picture. But, we re a weird little couple. Emphasis on the little I m 5 2 and he s 5 6. Everyone say Awwww.
Now that we ve got that out of the way let s talk about fish. Do you like it? Do you think it s the chicken of the sea? Are you anti Ocean Swimmies? Personally, I adore the little blubsters. Sidenote: blubsters because creme fraiche fish say blub blub. I once had a fish named Blubby. I m super creative like that.
Anyway, if you re in the anti ocean swimmies camp, you could totally just use chicken breast. And, if you don t like spicy foods, just omit the srirarcha it s that easy to customize this recipe to fit whatever makes your taste buds do this:

I love how easy and quick this complete dish is! Perfect for those busy weeknights or even on the weekend after running the kiddos to weekend games! I see the limes right there to the right..you don’t?
Yum! Have I ever told you how I dislike all types of fish and seafood? Oops. But I’ve creme fraiche heard tilapia is super mild and, well, when it’s covered in lime and cilantro I think I could handle this happily. I just miiiiight creme fraiche have to give it a try.

This creme fraiche sounds delicious! creme fraiche Hah know exactly what you mean about leaving something out of the photos and then kicking creme fraiche yourself for it! Don’t worry my imagination photoshopped the lime into the shot. : ) I haven’t had tilapia in forever creme fraiche so hopefully will be able to find some in Malaysia (where I’m renting an apt for the month) so I can give this a whirl!
You and your imagination are my favorite creme fraiche and I thank you x 1 million! SO COOL that you’re creme fraiche in Malaysia! Do you love it? I bet you are eating some amazing food, even if you can’t find tilapia!
Malaysia is really creme fraiche nice and the food here is delicious – though I’ve been cooking up a storm so not sampling the local delicacies as often as I would like (my boyfriend and I have been traveling around Asia and Europe for the last 1.5 years so are just trying to slow down here in Malaysia and catch up on cooking — which I miss so much when we are traveling fast and having to eat out for every meal)! Happy to come across your blog though and look forward to your future recipes!
Ohhh does your lesson hit home with me SO frustrating when you forget something. I think we just have to write stuff down! This recipe looks great though…cilantro and lime sounds perfect. and all over quinoa…Pinned. Thanks for sharing my dear!
Oh man isn’t that the worst?! I do that ALL the time. Totally rushing through shoots (usually the baby haha) and forget something specifically
