INGREDIENTS
5 oz Tilapia Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Fettuccine
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
2 Tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the tilapia fillet on a lined baking tray. In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the grated Parmesan.
Drizzle the tilapia lightly with olive oil, then press the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top to form a herb crust.
Bake the tilapia for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish bakes, cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small pan, warm a touch of olive oil over medium heat, then add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and a splash of the pasta water to create a light sauce.
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the lemon garlic sauce until well coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the herb-crusted tilapia. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired, then serve immediately.
