Answer
Baked Breaded Tilapia.Tilapia is a farmed freshwater fish that's low in fat and mild in flavor. It's suited to many different cooking methods, but this recipe for breaded fillets, baked up crisp and tender in the oven, is one of our favorites.
Ingredients

1 cup (250 mL) bread crumbs
1 tbsp. (15 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. (5 mL) oregano or Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp. (1 mL) black pepper
2-3 tbsp. (30-45 mL) vegetable oil
1-1/2 lbs. (750 g) tilapia fillets (or other white fish fillets, such as sole, cod or haddock)

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
In a plastic or paper bag combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano (or Italian seasoning), salt and pepper. Hold the top of the bag shut and shake to mix everything together.
Pour vegetable oil into a small bowl. Working with one fillet at a time, brush both sides with a little of the oil, then drop into the bag with the bread crumb mixture and shake to coat well. Remove from bag and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Bake for 10 minutes, turn fillets over and continue to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes when you poke into it with a fork.

Halibut with Herbs & Capers
Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice, juice
1 tablespoon chopped pitted green olives
2 teaspoons drained capers, rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1-pound halibut fillet, cut into 4 portions

Preparation

Place onion, parsley, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, olives, capers, garlic and pepper in a food processor; pulse several times to chop. Add oil and process, scraping down the sides several times, until a pesto-like paste forms. Pat halibut with the herb paste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the halibut in the dish and spoon any extra herb mixture on top. Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Healthy Egg Lunch
========================================
Shuk Shuka Egg and Tomato Sandwiches.This Middle Eastern inspired dish of eggs sauteed with tomatoes and seasonings, then tucked into warmed pita pockets, is sure to become a tradition in your home.
Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 large fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 eggs
4 pita bread rounds

Cooking Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped tomatoes and garlic, stirring occasionally, until liquid has cooked out of the tomatoes. Carefully break eggs over tomatoes without breaking yolks. Lightly season with salt, reduce heat, and cover.
Simmer covered for 20 minutes, or until yolks are fully cooked. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Serve with pita pockets.
***********************************************************
Asparagus with Poached Egg. A poached egg on a pile of tender steamed asparagus is a fine meal; a shaving of hard aged cheese, such as Parmesan, is an added treat â and don't forget freshly ground pepper.
Ingredients
1 pound(s) asparagus, trimmed and peeled
4 large eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 ounce(s) Parmesan cheese, thinly shaved
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground pepper

Directions

Tie asparagus into a bundle using kitchen twine. Place in the basket of an asparagus pot filled with 1 inch water. Cover, and bring water to a boil. Steam asparagus until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
Fill a large saucepan with 4 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. When water is barely simmering, break 1 egg into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl, sliding egg carefully into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels, and drain briefly.
Divide asparagus among 4 plates, and top each with an egg. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
