Lean tilapia under a crisp golden parmesan crust with roasted asparagus and lemon — a light, high-protein dinner on one pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 fillets tilapia fillets
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 tbsp parmesan, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 F. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, half the garlic, and a pinch of salt on a sheet pan and push to one side.
  2. Stir the grated parmesan with the melted butter and remaining garlic, then place the tilapia on the pan and press the parmesan mixture on top of each fillet.
  3. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until the tilapia flakes easily and the parmesan crust is golden and crisp.
  4. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and asparagus just before serving.
