Let me start by saying this was so freaking delicious I feel like I went to a gourmet restaurant and I can't believe I am losing weight eating it!!!
I started by chopping up about half of a medium sized onion
I would normally add some fresh celery however I was out & lazy so I added some celery salt
I added some parsley, cilantro, black pepper, and sea salt as well
Next step is tossing all of this into a sauce pan with about a tbsp of butter
I just cooked this for about 7 minutes on low 3-4 because it is still going to bake so it does not need to cook thoroughly. While that it cooking I threw some bacon on the stove, because as you know, any low carb diet should consist of at least 50% bacon (I kid I kid...but seriously)
Note: I did not use all of this bacon, but I like to cook it all because I can still munch on it and use it for the boyfriends lunch tomorrow and so forth.
I cooked the bacon until it was close to crispy and then took it out and chopped it up. Next I mixed up the onions, seasonings, bacon, and a bar of Philadelphia cream cheese.
Once everything was mixed I rolled the mixture into the center of the tilapia filets and stuck a skewer through them to keep them secure.I put a little bit of butter on top of each one and squeezed a fresh lemon on top of them.
I baked them at 350 degrees for thirty minutes and they turned out PERFECT!!!!
Low carbing is getting easier and easier....
Thanks for this! My husband said this dish made it to his "Top 10" meals. :-) Two ideas: 1) Saute the bacon first and the cook the veggies in the bacon fat. 2) To save time, instead of rolling the fillets, I put 3 down in the pan, spread the filling over, put 3 more fillets on top, and then squeezed the lemon juice (and any remaining drippings) over. But your way is definitely prettier!
