Golden Pan-Seared Tilapia with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tilapia fillets seasoned with garlic and paprika, served alongside tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa with a bright, zesty lemon finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia fillets
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Capers
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp golden sear.
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Evenly coat both sides of the tilapia fillets with the spice mixture.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave.
Plate the tilapia over the bed of quinoa with the steamed asparagus on the side.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the fish and garnish with lemon zest and capers before serving.
