Seared Tilapia with Steamed Broccoli and Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy this light and flavorful dinner featuring perfectly seared tilapia with a delicate lemon-herb quinoa and a side of tender steamed broccoli. A balanced dish that brings bright citrus notes and fresh herbs together for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Tilapia Fillet
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1 cup cooked Quinoa (from 1/3 cup dry)
1/4 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with water as per package instructions (using the equivalent of 1/3 cup dry quinoa), a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the tilapia fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Add the olive oil to the pan. Sear the tilapia fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes. You can add a pinch of salt if desired.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and combine with lemon zest (from 1/4 lemon) and a little extra lemon juice into the cooked quinoa for a burst of herbal brightness.
Plate the seared tilapia alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of lemon herb quinoa. Serve immediately.
