Lemon Herb Pan Seared Tilapia
Savor the delicate flavors of pan-seared tilapia elevated with a burst of fresh lemon and a medley of fragrant herbs. This dish is lightly pan-fried in a touch of olive oil and served with tender asparagus and a side of fluffy quinoa, creating a balanced, nutrient-rich meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juice & zest)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Asparagus
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Zest and juice half a lemon, keeping the zest separate.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tilapia to the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish becomes opaque and develops a golden crust.
During the final minute of cooking, drizzle half of the lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with garlic and parsley to infuse flavors.
In a separate pan, lightly stir-fry the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, seasoning lightly with salt and a squeeze of the remaining lemon juice.
Plate the tilapia alongside the asparagus and serve with a side of cooked quinoa. Garnish with lemon zest and a few extra parsley leaves if desired.
