This dish combines delicate protein with healthy fats for a well-rounded meal that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Zest the lemon and finely chop the fresh parsley. Combine the lemon zest and parsley to create the herb crust.
Lightly coat the tilapia with olive oil on both sides.
Press the lemon-parsley mixture onto the fillet to form a crust.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tilapia and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, gently toss the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
In the final minute of cooking, add the tossed cherry tomatoes to the pan to warm them and slightly blister their skins.
Plate the tilapia, spoon the warmed cherry tomatoes over or alongside the fish, and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
