Yield: 4 servings

CL Comments: Serve with fast-cooking rice noodles.
Amy's Comments: I did not serve over the salad. Rather I doubled the sauce (which does not change the points) and served some on the salad and the rest on the fish. I put the fish over rice noodles, but I wish I had done rice. VERY flavorful meal and SUPER fast to put together! A keeper!

INGREDIENTS:

Dressing:
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
1/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil

Fish:
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups gourmet salad greens

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. To prepare dressing, combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
  2. To prepare fish, heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Arrange 1 cup greens on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 fish fillet; drizzle with 2 tablespoons dressing.
