INGREDIENTS
5 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
8 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Toss the asparagus with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, prepare the herb rice by heating the cooked rice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in finely chopped garlic (optional, lightly sautéed in a few drops of water if preferred), fresh parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Fold in the low-fat cottage cheese gently off the heat to create a creamy texture with a fresh herb twist.
Season both sides of the tilapia fillet with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the tilapia for about 3-4 minutes per side until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Plate the tilapia with a generous serving of herb rice and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with additional parsley or a lemon wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
