  • * Polenta:
  • * 4 cups fat-free milk
  • * 1 cup quick-cooking polenta
  • * 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • * 1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
  • * Fish:

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare polenta, bring milk to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually add polenta, stirring constantly with a whisk. Reduce heat, and cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese; cover and keep warm.

To prepare the fish, heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine oil, paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl, stirring well. Rub fish evenly with oil mixture. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add fish to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
Kitchen Notes

The tilapia can be prepared either in a grill pan on the stove or over the coals on an outdoor grill.
