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
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes until the tilapia flakes easily and the parmesan crust is golden and crisp.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and asparagus just before serving.
