Fresh, bright, light...oh so yummy. That's how I would describe this lemon herb tilapia dinner. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if you aren't a seafood fan you need to try tilapia. It is so mild and so easy to prepare. You'll be converted!
Simple But Delicious
The ingredients are so simple. Here's the basics:
- tilapia
- garlic
- dill
- parsley
- lemon
- shallot
A Quick Meal!
I started out this recipe with a shallot, some dills, some parsley, and some garlic. Next, I seasoned my tilapia with salt and pepper and then coated it in flour. I cooked it in a skillet with a little olive oil and then removed it and let it rest on a pan. Then, I added a little more oil to my pan and did a quick saute of my shallot and garlic. To finish, I added some chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and my herbs to the pan. I finished it off with a little tab of butter and then added my tilapia back to the pan and heated thru.
Simple Sides
I served it up with some brown rice and broccoli - I was sure to spoon the pan sauce on top of my fish, rice, and broccoli - and then I devoured it. From start to finish this dish took me about 15 minutes. You really can't beat that for a fast, healthy lunch or dinner!
