Description
A quick, flavorful, and healthy sheet pan meal featuring tilapia, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to create a hot environment for cooking the fish and veggies to perfection.
- Arrange the tilapia fillets on a large sheet pan, allowing space for the vegetables to lie alongside.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade.
- Drizzle the flavorful mixture over the tilapia, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
- Add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the fish, drizzling the remaining marinade over the vegetables.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure your tilapia is fresh; it should smell ocean-like, not fishy. Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables.
