Golden Pan-Seared Tilapia with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tilapia fillets seasoned with turmeric for a vibrant golden crust, served with fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus finished with a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia fillets
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
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
1 tsp Lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with ground turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the asparagus spears to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred, then remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil to the same skillet.
Carefully place the tilapia fillets in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl, stir the lemon juice and lemon zest into the warm cooked quinoa to brighten the flavor.
Plate the golden tilapia fillets alongside the zesty quinoa and sautéed asparagus for a clean and balanced meal.
