INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Tilapia Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Place the tilapia fillet in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is golden and crispy on the edges and flakes easily with a fork.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus to the skillet, tossing it to coat in the olive oil and garlic while it cooks until tender-crisp.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the tilapia and asparagus, and give a final toss to distribute the citrus flavor.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional lemon wedges if desired.
