recipe review: teriyaki tilapia with herb salad

i spent a rainy saturday afternoon/evening doing meal prep and drinking wine. it was nice because i've been doing all of the things and i needed some quality time at home. i made a batch of my beloved muffin tin frittatas with red bell pepper, scallions, smoked cheddar, and chicken & bacon sausage from big fork. i had smoked sausage and frozen broccoli on hand, which seemed like a sign to make smoked sausage & broccoli. i had some leftover mixed veggies from a previous meal so i dumped those in as well because why not? also made some roasted carrots with this honey ginger white balsamic vinegar that i picked up during my trip to wisconsin earlier this month. 

i'd picked up some frozen tilapia from target and also had some leftover teriyaki sauce from the last recipe i tried out. this teriyaki tilapia with herb salad sounded easy enough, so i made it for dinner saturday night and had some leftovers with roasted carrots tonight. i used microwavable brown rice since it's a pantry staple of mine. once the rice was warm, i put it in a bowl and added a teaspoon each of dried cliantro and dried basil. i only used a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and i definitely felt it, lol. i think i threw in 3 scallions that i'd sliced, and the juice of 1 lime. the fish itself was kinda blah even though i sprinkled some pepper on each piece before basting with the teriyaki sauce. gotta break out some sort of garlic next time, maybe? i'd make the rice again, though.
