Steps:
- Sprinkle the tilapia fillets with the juice of one lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to assemble tamales.
- Make the masa dough for the tamales: Beat one stick of butter with 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until mixture is smooth.
- Place the corn kernels in a food processor or blender with the buttermilk and the salt and process until smooth. Add corn to the butter/egg mixture and beat until well blended.
- Stir the baking powder into the masa (harina de maiz). Add dry ingredients to the corn/butter mixture, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
- Whisk together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice and red chile sauce to taste.
- Assemble tamales: Place a 7 by 12 inch rectangle of Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick foil on the counter, with the non-stick side facing up.
- Spread about 1/3 cup of the corn masa dough into a 3 x 5 inch rectangle in the center of the foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the chile cream cheese mixture on top of the masa, and top with 1 tablespoon each chopped red pepper and green onions. Place one tilapia flillet on top of the cream cheese and vegetables, and spread another tablespoon of the chile cream cheese over the fish. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Top with another 1/3 cup masa, and spread it to cover the filling.
- Fold one short end of the foil up over the filling. Fold the two long sides in over the filling. There will be one end that is still open. Lift the tamale with the open end facing upwards and twist foil to close that end.
- Make 3 more tamales in the same way.
- Place tamales in a steamer basket, and place the basket over a pot with 2 inches of simmering water. Tamales should not touch the water. Cover tightly with a lid and steam tamales for 1 hour, checking water level from time to time.
- Let tamales cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Tamales can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or in a steamer. Unwrap tamales before reheating them in the microwave. This recipe makes 4 large tamales. You can divide the filling into smaller portions to make 8-10 smaller tamales, or even 16 appetizer-size tamales.

MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA
We had some beautiful tilapia fillets, but no recipes! I had recently bought some amazing sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and decided to invent a slightly Mediterranean fish dish for a quick weeknight dinner. My husband is a recipe purist, always follows them to the letter, but after this, he's learned to trust my inventions!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and cut off an additional 4 squares of foil to make fish packets.
- Melt butter in olive oil over low heat; brush foil squares with just a small amount of this mixture (the remainder will be used for the sauce) - alternatively, you can spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper; lay one fillet on each foil square and grate the lemon zest over each.
- Close up packets and arrange on a prepared baking sheet; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower florets, onion, and tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil; arrange, in a single layer, on the other prepared baking sheet.
- Season vegetables with salt and pepper and roast until cauliflower just begins to brown on the edges and tomatoes soften and collapse, about 15 minutes.
- Once fish and vegetables are done, place almonds in remaining olive oil/butter mixture and heat just until almonds are golden, only about 1 minute - be careful, they burn easily (even if they do brown, they are still good).
- Open packets and plate fish with cauliflower mix along side; top with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Choose Fresh Tilapia: For the best results, use fresh tilapia fillets. If you can't find fresh tilapia, frozen fillets can also be used, but make sure they are thawed completely before cooking.
- Use a Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife to cut the tilapia fillets into pockets. This will help you make clean, even cuts. If your knife is dull, it will crush the fish, making it difficult to stuff.
- Don't Overstuff the Pockets: When stuffing the tilapia pockets, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, they may burst open during cooking.
- Cook the Tilapia Thoroughly: Cook the tilapia until it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). You can check the doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily with a fork, it is done.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean tilapia pockets are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tilapia is flaky and moist, and the Mediterranean flavors are vibrant and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa.
