Main Ingredients:

Serves: 2,10,7
CarbsPerServing: About 2 net carbs per serving, plus the health benefits and fiber of flaxseed.
Prep Time:15 minutes Effort: Easy

2 5-6 oz Tilapia filets
2 T ground flaxseed (I run mine through a coffee grinder)
4 T butter 2 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic2 T finely shredded Parmeseano Reggiano (or regular
parmesean in a pinch)
sea salt white pepper

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

In oven and stove safe pan or dish, heat butter and olive oil over
medium high heat. Press 2 cloves garlic (or mince) and add to
butter/oil. Saute until garlic is soft but not brown. Rinse and dry
tilapia filets. Salt and pepper filets as you wish. Place filets in
pan, spooning garlic butter oil mixture over them. Cover and cook
over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork--about 4
minutes. In a small bowl, combine flaxseed, parmesean, and salt and
pepper to taste. Cover tops of filets with flax mix, about 2 T on
each. Spoon some of the butter/oil over topping to moisten. Place
under broiler to brown for about 2 to 3 minutes. As pictured above,
I like to serve with baby spinach and Newman's Own Light Italian
Dressing (0 carbs for the dressing!). This is such a treat--it's
kind of like a tilapia scampi. Enjoy!
