Tilapia dinner for 5 people in 15 minutes for $5

We all know that fish is good for us.

Some people didn't grow up eating it, 
some don't like the "fishy" taste.

Good news, not all fish tastes fishy.

Tilapia has a very mild and delicate taste, and is cheaper than most fish 
(I get mine for $3lb).

Here is how to make a super easy 

tilapia dinner for 
5 people in 15 minutes for $5 total.

Steam a bag of baby carrots. I do it on the stove. Cook for 15 minutes.

While the carrots cook, 

put 5 medium potatoes in the microwave on high (use a fork to poke few holes in it). 

Cook 5 minutes, then rotate and cook 5 more minutes.

While the veggies cook,

drizzle some olive oil in your nonstick pan, 

add frozen tilapia, 

cover and let it cook for 3 minutes on medium high.

Flip the fish over,

add steak seasoning, put lid back on and cook 3-4 more minutes on medium low 
(do not overcook fish, 7 minutes are plenty).

I put a little salt and olive oil on the steamed carrots. Salt, butter and sour cream on the baked potato.

And this is the complete meal.

Total cost breakdown 

Frozen Tilapia 5 pieces $4 (I buy mine for about $3lb)

1lb bag of fresh baby carrots .50c

5 medium potatoes .50c ($1.99 for a 10lb bag)

***I bought produce and fish at Aldi***

So here you have a fresh, healthy and delicious meal for $1 per person.

Stay Frugal,

Daniela

ps. my 3 children, ages 4 and under, inhale this meal.
