For the record, y’all…this post is brought to you by the tasty treats that are Gorton’s Seafood. Just because Brian doesn’t eat fishies doesn’t mean I won’t. And so I bring you joy. And a REALLY freakin’ easy, FAST meal. Because Gorton’s gave me some coupons for free fishies. And then I ate them. Not the coupons. The fishies.
Things you aren’t allowed to judge in this post
- The fact that I tried to hide the dirtiness of my kitchen with close-up images
- My use of holiday dishware in mid-January
- The microwave that I quickly rinsed off so you wouldn’t see what a mess it was
- The fact that I may have slightly overcooked my fishies, but ate them anyways
So…If you recall the last time I worked with Gorton’s, I reviewed their Simply Bakes Tilapia and Shrimp Scampi, which I made for the parents and mom’s bestie. Everyone was a fan. Gorton’s has since become an easy peasy staple in our freezer.
I’m serious when I tell you that Brian won’t eat fish. He doesn’t even want to smell it. Luckily, when I make Gorton’s, he barely even notices. Except for the fact that he has to cook his own dinner. (Except that one time that I actually cooked him something, too. And he was all, “you didn’t have to.” So the next time, I was all, “I didn’t.”)
So last night, when I got home I was FAMISHED. Starving. And I needed food immediately. Brian had already been informed that he was on his own for dinner, so he had prepared himself his favorite nasty frozen garlic chicken pasta thing that stinks up our entire apartment (and then he complains about fish?) I think he did it on purpose actually. But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
Anyways, I got home and took out the Gorton’s Grilled Tilapia, which is one of my faves. Not to be confused with the Simply Bakes Tilapia, this one is microwavable. Usually I bake this in the toaster oven, but I was on a time crunch. It was nuke it or eat Brian’s arm…I like two-armed hugs, so you can see my dilemma.
I tried to time myself on this shiz, but then I realized I was spending more time taking pictures of my food than preparing it, so timing was damn near obsolete. It all worked out though, because in 15 minutes (including photo op time), I had a healthy and tasty dinner for me.
So while the fish fillet was nuking, I was prepping my salad. Super easy. Chop the romain, halve the ‘maters, slice and quarter the cukes, measure out some dressing. Take a veggie photo shoot. Mix contents in Pyrex. Done.
Gorton’s is all about getting you to feel your best, so they’re working with bloggers and cool people like me to promote their Real Fabulous Sweepstakes where you can enter to win a $1,000 makeover.
So go try them out for yourself. You can even visit Gorton’s Seafood and get yourself a coupon for fishies.

That looks so yummy. I love fish. Could eat it a few days a week if it wasn’t so expensive. I’ve done a similar thing with salmon and an Asian Sesame dressing.
Btw….am I the only one that went pervy with that title? Anybody?
Lol. I may have noticed that before I hit schedule…and rolled with it.
Didn’t help that you said ravished. Historical romance novel heroines get ravished. I think you were meaning famished. Unless you were actually ravished pre-dinner and then thumbs up!
Ravished? Whatever do you mean? (Thanks for the catch)
Bahahah you changed it!!! Now I look like the pervy one!!!
So dirty! !
Looks really good. Now I want some sort of fishie salad…
I seriously love how easy it was.
Ohhh I need to try some of this fish myself- especially on a weeknight when I don’t feel like cooking but want more than cereal.
It’s surprising how tasty frozen fish can be. They have salmon too, but I only like salmon raw or smoked.
OM NOM NOM!
Have you tried, yet?
In those rare moments that I actually follow a recipe and prepare myself food it never EVER looks that pretty. What. The. Heck.
Chalk it up to my time spent as a catering manager…or throwing stuff in a bowl and hoping it looks nice…or trying to hook up with handsome chefs. One of those.
WOW, that was amazing! My husband won’t even look at fish, let alone smell it. LOL Since he is gone so much I can just eat what I like when he isn’t around and it works except for the pint size replica picky eater in my son who loves to rain on my parade and refuse to eat anything.
Thanks! Man, picky eaters…I tell ya’ can’t live with ’em…can’t seem to live without ’em (when you love them)
