Cajun Fish

Will and I have been buying a lot of fish lately. Whenever tilapia goes on sale for $4.00 we get 2-3 pounds and freeze it. This tomato based fish dish is really flavorful, healthy and super easy.

Ingredients:
- 2 filets of fish (we use tilapia mostly)
- can of tomatoes or two fresh tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- other random veggies! peas, broccoli, peppers, throw them in there
- 1/2 cup of water or broth
- 1-2 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tbsp italian seasonings

- rice

To start, get some rice going as your base. I use a rice cooker, which makes it super easy.

Then in a large skillet, heat up some oil, add onions and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and any other veggies (not the tomatoes yet!), saute for a few minutes. Then add tomatoes and your water. Place the fish on top of the veggies. Add cajun and italian seasonings. Then place a cover on the skillet and cook for 6 minutes minutes.

Voila! Done. Add any more seasonings to taste. Pour the veggies and fish over your rice and wam, bam - delicious and healthy meal.
