Lemon-Herb Baked Tilapia with Asparagus
Flaky tilapia fillets oven-baked with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz tilapia fillets
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the tough, woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Pat the tilapia fillets completely dry with a paper towel and arrange them on the other side of the sheet pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped dill.
Drizzle the herb oil mixture evenly over both the tilapia and the asparagus, then season everything with sea salt and black pepper.
Cut the half lemon into thin slices and place them directly on top of the tilapia fillets.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and divide it onto plates, topping with the baked fish and roasted asparagus.
Finish with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the entire plate before serving warm.
