Experiments in the kitchen: Mushrooms & Tilapia in White Wine

So tonight I decided to use some mushrooms up before they went bad, but didn't have an actual recipe or any real inspiration. I added about a table spoon worth of butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, tossed in my pre-cut mushrooms and a few table spoons of white wine and let it cook down until the wine evaporated. Once the mushrooms cooked down I removed them from the skillet, added some more butter & wine, & added my tilapia filets that I previously seasoned with salt, pepper, & minced garlic. The outcome? Fish - nice. Mushrooms - blah.

Sesame-Crusted Tilapia Fillets

I'm making this for dinner tonight. I just wanted to use some of the sesame seeds I had sitting around and this was one of the first things that came up as I was searching. Also, I've had some people ask about nutritional value, so as I'm able I'll be posting that info at the bottom of the recipes. 4 (6-oz. size) tilapia fillets 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 6 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Place fish in single layer in shallow baking dish. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil; sprinkle with pepper. Let stand 10 minutes. Press sesame seeds onto both sides of fillets. Heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add fish; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and fish just begins to flake, turning once.
