Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups plain, non-fat yogurt
• 6 oz tilapia fillet
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Directions

1. Line a mesh strainer with a coffee filter, set it over a bowl, and spoon in the yogurt. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour, or overnight — this makes a thick "yogurt cheese" you can use in place of sour cream, cream cheese, or mayonnaise.
2. Sprinkle the tilapia fillet with lemon juice and place it on a foil-lined broiling pan.
3. Mix the yogurt cheese with the Old Bay seasoning, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and the Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
4. Spoon the mixture onto the fish fillet.
5. Broil under medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through to the center.
6. Serve with steamed green beans and steamed yams, optionally sprinkled with cinnamon and a little xylitol, stevia, or agave.
