tilapia and mushrooms

tonights we started with a red lentil curry soup. For our entrée we had Cumin Tilapia with mushrooms. After our salad, our dessert was fruit with cheese. Here is the recipe for the Tilapia.

6-8 mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
salt & pepper
1 tilapia fillet, thawed and dried off
1 tsp cumin
salt & pepper
small handful of parsley, roughly chopped
wedge of lemon to garnish
In a large frying pan, melt the butter into the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Toss in the mushrooms, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and fry until golden brown.
Set the mushrooms aside, keeping them warm until you’re ready to plate the dish.
Coat both sides of the tilapia with the cumin, salt and pepper.
Cook the tilapia in the frying pan over medium heat (about 3 minutes a side).
To serve, pile up the mushrooms, put the fish on top and garnish with the parsley and lemon slice.
