Impromptu challenge (1 hour notice)

My friend Steve and I were heading into Philly, so I offered a pre-Philly dinner if he stopped by early enough. Here's what I came up with:

I'm on a tilapia kick. So a lot of the upcoming recipes will have it.

Main Course: Curry Tilapia with white wine reduction.
2/3 flour and 1/3 curry powder act as a quick coating before pan-searing the tilapia in a tiny bit of canola oil. Once complete, remove the filets and add 1/2 cup of dry white wine to the pan to extract the "good stuff" renderings (the sizzling is normal) and pour those over the fish

Side dish: Lemon/Parmesan Toasted Israeli Couscous with peas. Leave it in the oven for 20 minutes after adding the lemon and cheese and it gets even better.

Vegetable: Newfound holy grail of easy side-dishes: Frozen spinach! Thawed and cooked with olive oil and a little cayenne pepper.

Sorry, no photos today. Next time.
