Easiest Corn Husk Tilapia

Baking Fish in Corn Husks

(Super Easy, quick & healthy!)

     So, I'm not great at cooking meals. Give me any dessert recipe and I'm golden but when it comes to things like fish, I'm lost. That's why I love this throw-together recipe- because I half-assed it and it's sitting in front of me, delicious as hell. So. There you go.  

Another very important note: I modified this recipe like crazy. Mostly because I didnt have hatch chiles (or any chiles for that matter) and I like a lot more veggies. So I skipped the chiles and added peas. spinach, and a dash of salsa. Still yummy.

Oh, and all the pictures were taken with my phone. :)

Tilapia with Fresh Corn and Hatch Chiles

(adapted from Real Women Eat Chiles via We Heart Food)

Ingredients

2 ears of fresh corn
1/4 cup hatch chiles (more or less, depending on your desired heat level)
1/4 cup green onions
1/2 lime
2 tilapia fillets
ancho chile powder, to garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Carefully peel back the husk from each corn cob. You will use it for baking the fish.
Cut the ear of corn off the stem just above the end of the cob, leaving the husk intact. Set the husk aside. Cut the corn off the cob and combine with green chiles, green onions and the juice of a quarter of a lime.


     Rinse the fish and pat dry. Place one fillet inside each of the corn husks. Top each with one-half of the corn mixture and close the husks over the fish, overlapping slightly.


     

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Cut the remaining lime lengthwise into 2 wedges. Serve the fish in the husk with a lime wedge on top and a side of wild rice.

The pictures don't do it justice. It was DELICIOUS! Alex and Alice both loved it as well!
