LOW-FAT JALAPENO GARLIC TILAPIA
I have posted the origional Recipe for Johnny Carino's Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia, which we love. But, if you look at the fat content, it's pretty frightful. I came up with a lower fat, healthier version so I can have my fish and eat it too.

GARLIC ALFREDO TILAPIA
My version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Seafood, minus the shrimp. I merged a few different recipes and came up with this. It comes pretty close! Three fillets are usually enough for my husband, my toddler, and myself. I serve this with rice and steamed broccoli, to really feel like Ruby Tuesday's recipe!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Brush the tilapia fillets with oil on both sides, season with Creole seasoning to taste, then place into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh is no longer translucent, and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and the aroma has mellowed, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and keep warm until the fish is ready. Pour the sauce over the fish to serve. Sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a yellow or grayish tint.
- Use fresh jalapeños. Fresh jalapeños will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh jalapeños, you can use canned or jarred jalapeños, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the tilapia fillets, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the fillets will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the fillets should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the internal temperature of the fillets with a meat thermometer.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. Tilapia is best served hot, right out of the pan. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
This low-fat jalapeño-garlic tilapia recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy tilapia. The jalapeños and garlic add a nice flavor to the fish, and the tilapia is cooked to perfection. This recipe is easy to make and is sure to become a favorite in your household.
