INGREDIENTS
4 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the tilapia fillet under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tilapia in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the tilapia is cooking, steam the broccoli until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Alternatively, use a microwave steam method with a splash of water and cover for 3-4 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa if not pre-cooked, or reheat the cooked quinoa gently. Mix in the lemon juice for added brightness.
To plate, serve the seared tilapia alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of quinoa. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the fish if desired.
