"Baked tilapia seasoned with Cajun and citrus served with a creamy sauce of fresh dill and lemon."

Fish
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning,
or to taste
2 lemons, thinly sliced circles
minced garlic
1/4 cup lemon juice
2-3 TBS olive oil

Sauce (Milchig)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1/4 ts)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, and pour olive oil and lemon juice into it.

2. Dip both sides of tilapia fillets in lemon juice, and season with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning on both sides.

3. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Place a layer of 2 lemon slices over each the fish fillets, to cover the fish. Poke holes in the lemon slices with a knife to allow juice to seep into the fish

4. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. While the fish is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream (yogurt), garlic powder, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Serve with tilapia.

Notes:
a. You can eliminate the milchig dill sauce and just add dill to the seasonings atop the fish
b. You can substitute extra lemon juice on top instead of lemon circles.
c. You can eliminate the yogurt/sour cream and just use mayo for the sauce, although we haven't tried this yet.

Salmon Patties

Canned salmon
seasoned bread crumbs
scallions (I use onion powder, too lazy)
1 tsp ginger per can of salmon
eggs
Dijon mustard
pepper
salt
oil

In a mixing bowl, combine salmon (pick out bones), bread crumbs, scallions (onion powder), ginger, eggs, mustard, pepper, and salt. Mix well. Form into small patties.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high flame. Reduce flame to medium, and saute the patties for about 4 minutes on each side.

NOTE: Each large can of salmon (usually 14.75 oz) will make about 6 patties. Use a lot of mustard for better taste!

Tuna Patties

24 oz tuna (4 cans)- I prefer white tuna, drained
2/3 cup matzah meal
1/4 cup mayo
4 eggs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients. Shape into patties as large as you want. Heat oil in a frying pan. Put patties in and fry on each side on golden brown.
