Caribbean Tilapia with Pears and Roasted Potatoes
- Carnival Roasted Potatoes
- 2 small red potatoes
- 2 small Yukon potatoes
- ½ yellow bell pepper, cut to 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup green beans (fresh, frozen or canned)
- 1 Roma tomato, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped white onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Tilapia Oven Packets
- 4 4-ounce (1 pound total) tilapia fillets, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon Caribbean citrus spice seasoning blend, like Mrs. Dash
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 Anjou USA Pears
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with other vegetables, seasonings, and olive oil. Spread mix in a 2-quart baking dish and place in oven. Roast until potatoes and other vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
About 15 minutes after the potato dish was placed in the oven, put in the cookie sheet with fish packets, prepared as follows: Brush fish with olive oil, coat with seasoning blend. Place each filet in the center of a square of aluminum foil (or substitute foil with parchment paper). Cut pears into quarters and core; slice into thin wedges (about 8-12 per pear). Top fish with pear wedges. Bring the foil over the fish and fruit. Fold and pinch the seams. Place foil packets on a cookie sheet. Bake about 20 minutes until tilapia is cooked and fruit is tender. To serve, carefully open the packet, slide contents onto individual serving plates, and add roasted vegetables.
