Pan-Seared Tilapia with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared tilapia fillets finished with a bright lemon-herb sauce and served with nutty quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Tilapia fillet
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the tilapia in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley to create the herb sauce.
Place the cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the pan-seared tilapia and steamed asparagus, then drizzle the lemon-herb sauce over the fish before serving.
