Last year a group of Orlando bloggers worked with Lawry’s to create a quick and easy dinner full of an appetizer, main entree, and side dish. I’m excited to work with Lawry’s again this year to create a recipe using their latest salt blends and marinade flavors: Mediterranean Herb Seasoned Salt, Fire Roasted Chile & Garlic, Roasted Garlic Salt, Santa Fe Chili Marinade and Mediterranean Herb and White Wine Marinade.

Along with the new flavors, Lawry’s offers a cute Dinnertising site, where you can create a fun customized video for your family with the idea of selling a recipe to them. It’s a nice way to add a little humor and fun into the dinnertime routine and get kids interacting with you. Lawry’s wants to make dinner exciting and hopes to help busy parents do that by providing an interactive and fun video-making experience. Here’s the Dinnertisement I made for my baby girl! Click on the image to see the video.

I decided to try out the Mediterranean Herb and White Wine Marinade along with the Roasted Garlic Salt to make a simple, and healthy fish dish for dinner. It was super easy to make and didn’t take very long. See recipe below.

Garlic-Infused Rosemary & White Wine Tilapia

Ingredients

• 4 Fillets Tilapia Fish
• Lawry’s Mediterranean Herb and White Wine Marinade
• Lawry’s Roasted Garlic Salt
• Fresh Rosemary

Steps

• Season the fish with Lawry’s Roasted Garlic Salt.
• Place fillets in a big bowl or plastic bag and cover well with Lawry’s Mediterranean Herb and White Wine Marinade.
• Let the fillets marinate for at least 30 minutes, but definitely no less.
• Once the fish fillets have marinated, make steam pockets using aluminum foil. Place 1 fillet per steam pocket, adding vegetables on top to your liking. I used asparagus and added a couple of stalks on top of each fillet, as pictured above.
• Bake in the oven at 350ºF for 45 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.

I suggest you serve the fish and vegetables alongside some white rice, to complete your meal. I’m sure your family will love it and how easy it is to make!

Hints and shortcuts for your meal:

• You can marinate the fish ahead of time using freezer-size bags and defrost the fish while you’re at work during the day or out running errands. When you get home, the fish will be already seasoned and ready to cook!
• To save even more time, you can easily use a bag of frozen vegetables to add to your steam pocket.
• Use instant rice packets or a rice cooker to free up some of your kitchen time. This is great because you don’t have to constantly keep an eye on the stove.
• You might want to try broiling instead of baking the fish!

I was recently approached by The Motherhood for an opportunity to get together with a few local bloggers as part of the “Fabulous Summer of Flavor” challenge and cook a meal together using Lawry’s products. Unfortunately, as is the life of busy moms and bloggers, we were unable to find a date that worked for all of us. So, we did the next best thing and had ourselves a virtual potluck. That’s the beauty of social media and blogging; we can get together without actually getting together!

Our challenge was to collectively create a meal that fit the theme of “On the Go” and included the following Lawry’s products: Seasoned Salt, Balsamic Herb Marinade, and Seasoned Salt Marinade. Our Orlando team came up with an appetizer, main entree, and side dish that take about 40 minutes to prepare; not bad for a healthy, easy, and fast meal! Plus, the entree requires only THREE ingredients! After you check out these super simple recipes, be sure to scroll down for the chance to win some Lawry’s products, so that you too can create this quick and easy dinner!

Appetizer: Crostini with white bean spread, arugula and prosciutto

by Leigh of ThemeParkMom.com and me! (ModernMami™.com)
(Makes 20-30 appetizers, depending on size of your baguette)
Prep time: 10 minutes or less

INGREDIENTS
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 can cannelini beans (or other white bean, such as Great Northern)
2 T. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp. black pepper
Baby arugula (about 1/2 cup)
Thinly-sliced prosciutto (about 1/4 pound)

1. Toast your bread slices on both sides. This can be done in an oven, or the Florida summer method, which doesn’t require heating up the oven: Heat a dry skillet over medium high heat. Add bread slices and toast for about 30 seconds per side. Watch closely so they don’t burn.
2.  Make the white bean spread. Drain the liquid from the can of beans. Add to a food processor and puree. Add olive oil, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and pepper and process until well blended.
3. Assemble the crostini. Spread about 2 tsp. of the bean spread on each baguette. Top with 3-4 pieces of baby arugula and a small slice of the prosciutto.
