Most of the fun I have with cooking is not looking up imaginative recipes in books or online, though that has a charm of its own. I truly enjoy having an idea, looking to see what is in the fridge, and having it come out looking elegant and tasting wonderful. That happened this evening.
Ingredients:2 ham steaks (4oz)
6 oz tilapia fillet
1/2t parmesan
thin slice of tomato
olive pam
salt, pepper, thyme to taste
juice of 1/4 lemon
Method:spray the pan with the pam
put two ham steaks in the pan
arrange tilapia on ham
top with parmesan, salt, pepper and thyme
place a small round of tomato on top
broil 6 minutes
squeeze with lemon juice before serving
This was really simple, and quick to prepare. Nancy called as I was leaving My Local Grocer with the fish and we sat down to eat it seven minutes after she got home. The fish was in the broiler for six of those - I didn't want to start cooking it before she got here. I didn't find this recipe anywhere, but it was good enough for a magazine.

With numbers like these we could have eaten more.
We ate the fish together with mushrooms sauteed with garlic served over rice pilaf made with onions and chicken stock. Salad, with a simple vinaigrette, and a glass of the house red completed the meal.
Sorry for the absence of photos or background details. We were hungry.
