I made this tonight and it was delicious. I don't typically like meals I make myself, but I really enjoyed this. Easy to prepare, simple ingredients. I used a kale/spinach mix rather than arugula/frisee, and it worked perfectly. This is definitely in the rotation!
Broiled Tilapia with Frisée-Apple Salad and Mustard-Parsley Sauce
Because it's sustainably farm-raised and widely available, tilapia is a great option. And since it doesn't have an assertive flavor, it pairs well with a variety of ingredients.
