Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Tilapia with Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright, zesty flavor of lemon and garlic in this light yet satisfying dish. Tender tilapia is pan-seared to perfection, served alongside al dente whole wheat spaghetti and crispy roasted asparagus for a balanced meal that delights the palate while keeping it clean and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil (for searing)
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil (for roasting)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking tray and roast for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, season the tilapia fillet with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tilapia fillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
In the same skillet or a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and lemon juice. Lightly warm if desired, just to release the garlic aroma.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions if not already cooked. Drain and toss with the lemon-garlic mixture.
Plate the cooked tilapia alongside the spaghetti, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Drizzle any remaining lemon-garlic sauce over the tilapia for an extra burst of flavor.
