Golden Pan-Seared Tilapia with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tilapia fillets dusted with turmeric for a vibrant golden hue, served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus and a bright lemon finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia fillets
0.5 cup Quinoa, cooked
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a proper sear.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Evenly coat both sides of the tilapia fillets with the spice mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
During the last 4 minutes of cooking the fish, add the asparagus spears to the same pan, turning occasionally until tender.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and place it in a serving bowl.
Top the quinoa with the seared tilapia and asparagus.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.
