INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Lemon wedge
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Rinse the tilapia fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the tilapia on both sides with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil.
Place the tilapia in the pan skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until it develops a crispy crust.
Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the ends.
If using leftover or pre-cooked quinoa, warm it up. If cooking fresh, follow package instructions to achieve a light and fluffy consistency.
Plate the seared tilapia alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa.
Squeeze a lemon wedge over the tilapia and asparagus for a burst of brightness before serving.
