Yesterday, my mom asked me if I wanted to eat tilapia or bangus. Both fishes were available in our fridge, but seeing we only had 2 pieces of tilapia and it was just the two of us eating, might as well cook it and save the bangus for later because we can cut it in 3 to 4 pieces for the whole family to eat.
In one issue of DiabetEASE Magazine that my aunt had, I read that tilapia has got to be the one of the unhealthy fishes one could eat, for reasons I cannot recall anymore. What I do recall was that, while it is very safe to eat tilapia, it would be much better to cook it without oil. With that in mind, I decided to just steam the fish.
Normally, when we steam the tilapia (or any fish), we would put slices of kamias to give the fish some tangy flavor, but our kamias tree didn't have any fruits, so I just squeezed some lemons. Nothing major on this dish - I just seasoned it with salt and pepper before steaming it. I also added some cut vegetables (cabbage, green beans, red bell peppers, and carrots), for some fiber. As for the dressing, I just prepared an aioli sauce.
