Taste of Tuesday: Seared Tilapia with Edamame Succotash

~ Top of the Mornin' to you! ~

It's Tuesday and we're already hungry over here just dreaming of what we ate last night; seared tilapia with edamame succotash! I've made this dish in the past with salmon (which was phenomenal), but the tilapia was on sale so I decided to try this recipe with that instead. And to my elation, it turned out amazing! In fact, I bet any fresh fish would work just fine in this recipe! Well let's be honest...if you fried a turd in bacon grease I'd probably try it, but you get the point. Enjoy!

Seared Tilapia with Edamame Succotash

Ingredients

3 applewood - smoked bacon slices

4 (6 oz) tilapia fillets

1/4 t salt

1/4 t ground pepper

1 C frozen yellow and white whole - kernel corn

1/4 C water

1 C frozen shelled edamame

1/2 t dried thyme

1/8 salt

1 (8 oz) container refrigerated prechopped tomato, onion, and bell pepper mix

Directions

1) Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 7 minutes or until crisp.

2) While bacon cooks, sprinkle fillets evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. When bacon is done, transfer it to paper towels to rain; crumble bacon.

3) Add fillets to drippings in pan. Cook 2-3 minutes over medium - high heat (4 mins for salmon) or until browned. Turn fillets over; add crumbled bacon, corn, 1/4 cup water, and remaining ingredients to pan.
