Zesty Pan-Seared Tilapia with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared tilapia fillets seasoned with zesty lemon and smoked paprika, served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia fillets
1.5 cups asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, half the sea salt, half the black pepper, and the minced garlic.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until it reaches a vibrant green and crisp-tender texture.
While the vegetables roast, pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the smoked paprika, lemon zest, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tilapia fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden-brown and opaque.
Drizzle the seared fish with fresh lemon juice and serve immediately alongside the roasted asparagus over a bed of warm cooked quinoa.
