Tilapia with Golden Raisins

My wife likes fish and I don’t. I try to make fish for her about once or twice a week , so I am always looking for a quick and easy recipe that is both good and easy. Something that won’t make me feel as though I just slapped it together. Tilapia is a light and fairly inexpensive fish that is getting more and more common in the grocery stores. Ideally suited for a summer dinner, served with rice and a small salad this is both satisfying and great for those who are watching their weight.

For those of you who are regular readers of this blog you know I like to add raisins to almost any dish. Golden raisins add a surprising sweet and moist touch to the dish. The sweetness offsets the acidity of the wine and the pine nuts add some crunch. Start to finish in less than 10 minutes; you would be hard pressed to come up with a better meal, good and good for you.
