Seared Tilapia with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon
Enjoy a light yet flavorful dinner featuring tender seared tilapia paired with crisp roasted asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of lemon. This dish delivers a perfect balance of protein and freshness with a hint of olive oil enhancing the natural flavors.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia Fillet
1.5 cups Asparagus
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F for the asparagus if roasting separately or prepare a skillet for stovetop sautéing.
Pat the tilapia fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Squeeze half the lemon over the fish for added zest.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tilapia and sear for about 3 minutes per side or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of the remaining lemon juice. Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender but still crisp, or sauté in a separate pan if preferred.
Plate the tilapia alongside the roasted asparagus. Optionally, garnish with an extra lemon wedge and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, protein-rich dinner.
