Substitutions and Stuff

I am trying to make the recipe below but don't have old bay seasoning, garlic salt  lemon (that I can get easily though) or a baking dish with a cover.  Suggestions?  

Thanks in advance!!

 

• 4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cauliflower with broccoli and red pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Place the tilapia fillets in the bottom of the baking dish and dot with butter. Season with Old Bay seasoning and garlic salt. Top each one with a slice or two of lemon. Arrange the frozen mixed vegetables around the fish, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Cover the dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until vegetables are tender and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Well, you could always cover a dish with tin foil.

You could put actual garlic (minced) on the fish instead of garlic salt. And then a touch of salt as well, if you want. 

I don't like Old Bay so I'd probably just use oregano or some other spice that I do like instead. 

And get lemons.

Tilapia is pretty versatile and there are a ton of recipes out there.  I would just season with something you like or find another recipe. Do you have foil? You could cover the dish with that.

You could try Cajun seasoning or here's a few recipes I have pinned.
