I have never added the fresh broccoli to the baking pan before but it was an awesome addition... it tasted great too... and it was one less thing for me to cook. The kids loved it (minus 1) and the hubs and I loved it too!
**Tips:
A couple pointers on this one- You can add as little or as much seasoning as you'd like. It's all about your taste preferences really... but this recipe is a base to start with. I used frozen Tilapia from a bag. It goes on sale often and I just buy a few bags and use them when I need them. You could thaw them and cook them that way too, it really doesn't matter. If they are fresh or thawed, you may have a shorter cooking time. I just love it when I don't have to thaw meat out before I cook it... call me lazy. I like to call it busy...lol
I also added fresh broccoli to the pan, but you could use frozen too and it doesn't have to be broccoli.. you could add other veggies too. (Fresh carrots would not work well though because they take forever to cook).
I served this with instant mashed potatoes and pickled beats because I was busy, got distracted and forgot to make the flavored rice that I originally planned to serve with this. :) Lucky for me no one noticed!
Any questions?
