Tilapia goes back, far back. So far back, the ancient Egyptians had a hieroglyph for our finned little friend here. But don't let the social security checks fool you; this fish can bring out flavors as young as a newborn babe. Here, we've given it the chili-lime treatment, giving it that tang of sweet and zesty. Sweet potatoes and edamame round out a meal that proves that everything old can be new again.
