INGREDIENTS
5 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 clove Garlic
1 Lemon wedge
1/2 medium Sweet Potato
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining olive oil.
Season the tilapia fillet with salt and pepper. Sauté a minced garlic clove in the skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tilapia to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
In the last minute of cooking, add a teaspoon of butter and a lemon wedge to the skillet, allowing the butter to melt and infuse the fish with a bright lemon garlic flavor.
Microwave or bake the half sweet potato until tender to serve as a mild, grounding side.
Plate the seared tilapia alongside the roasted asparagus and sweet potato. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the fish and enjoy your balanced and flavorful dinner.
