Garlic Aioli

Cup of mayonnaise

Freshly crushed black pepper

3 cloves of Garlic, diced

My Comments: I think you have to have the aioli to cut the spicy heat of the tilapia. I made a mistake and did not account of the saltiness of the mustard I added to the aioli, so it was a little spiced for the average person. Since I have ridiculously low blood pressure and constantly crave sodium, I ate my dinner happily.

This meal is surprisingly quick, satisfying and the satisfies the poor man's craving for surf and turf.
