Fish Play

Last night I decided to make the most complicated thing in the world for me; tilapia, asparagus and corn. You may think that is not a complicated thing to make, but for someone that has never made fresh fish or used a steamer before.....it was a pain. It ended up being really good though! So I was very proud of my self in the end. I broiled the talpia for 8-10 minutes. The asparagus I steamed for about 10 minutes; any longer and i think they would have gone limp. The born I boiled for about 20 minutes. I couldn't find my camera or else I would have taken a picture.

I also found another recipe on Martha Stewart's page and I thought it would be something fun to try and maybe step up my game when it comes to cooking fresh fish. If you decide to try it, take a picture and post it or tell me about! I would love to hear from every one.
