Who needs 30 minute meals? How about 5!

I got home a bit later than usual for a Monday, thanks to a three hour wait at the eye doctor's this afternoon. By the time I got home, I was ravenous and dilated-pupils-be-damned I wasn't going to deviate from my meal plan. Actually, there wasn't a need to grab a convenience food; I had dinner on the table in about five minutes.

Quick, simple and delicious fish tacos. I started with a tilapia fillet, seasoned with my trinity of Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and garlic powder. Shortly after placing the fish in my heated saute pan, I zested one lime onto the fish. A mere minute later and I was adding the juice of the lime to the pan.

While the fish was cooking, I chopped up some cilantro and mesclun greens. I was out of salsa but had a few roasted tomatoes and garlic that would do just fine. I had barely finished rinsing and cutting my greens and it was time to turn the fish. I added a bit more lime juice and the chopped cilantro and voila! Done and done!

A satisfying low calorie meal made in about half the time it took me to write about it.
