Tilapia en Papillote
It does not get any easier than this simple and tasty fish recipe which you can pull together in less than 30 minutes! I try and keep a bunch of frozen tilapia in the freezer, so that I can always cook this recipe when I run out of fresh groceries. I choose to buy my seafood at Whole Foods because they have a good sustainable fish program that ensures that all farmed Tilapia is raised with very strict standards. They don’t allow antibiotics or preservatives and prohibit the use of hormones. These methods of aquaculture ensure that there is less of an impact on our environment. This is very important to me because I choose to consume meat and fish so I want to ensure that when I buy them that I do so in the most sustainable and responsible way that I can.
