Broiled Tilapia With Mustard-Chive Sauce
I wanted to do something lighter tonight. I found his dish from Giada De Laurentiis on the food network website. I didn't have high hopes because it was lighter but I do like Giada's recipes so I thought I would give it a go. It was very tasty. The yogurt gives the illusion of cream. (yes it is full fat yogurt but there isn't much) So a light dish that tricks you in to thinking that it is not. And while it wasn't an OMG dish, it was very good for light dish. My husband and I both thought a little more mustard would have been nice; the boy ate a double portion;).

baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
Drizzle the tilapia fillets on both sides with olive oil and season
with salt and pepper. Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the
prepared baking sheet and broil until cooked through and the flesh
flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool

For the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, agave nectar,
and mustard until smooth. Whisk in the lemon juice and chives. Season

Transfer the tilapia to a serving platter and drizzle with the sauce.
