Lemon Tilapia with Tangy Broccoli Slaw

Ingredients:

• 4 (6oz) raw tilapia, washed, patted dry
• 2 lemons, one sliced and the other juiced
• 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided into ¼ tsps.
• ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper, divided in ¼ tsps.
• Dash of cayenne pepper ( optinal)
• 2 cups broccoli slaw ( I found it at Wegman’s) or shredded coleslaw mix
• 2 tbs. fresh lime juice

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler on high and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Squeeze lemon juice over fish filets, sprinkle with salt and pepper ( and cayenne if using) and place a lemon slice on each.
3. Broil fish for 3-5 minutes on each side until it flakes easily with a fork.
4. While fish broils, combine broccoli slaw in a bowl with lime juice and salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
5. To serve, place broccoli slaw on the plate and top with fish. A little hot sauce or salsa tastes wonderful with this as well!

Note: if lime juice is to tangy for you, drizzle the slaw with a little olive oil as well. Enjoy!
