Lemon-pepper Sauteed Tilapia



When you want something quick, light and filling...




October is a busy month at my house there are a bunch of birthday celebrations going on among other festive occasions. So we have had quite a few dinners and lunches out and many treats were eaten. Which is perfectly fine in my book but I always stress balance so this week we are trying to eat a little healthier this at my house. Which is there this inspiration for this meal came form.

Cook Time: 25- 30 minuets 

Ingredients:
Tilapia filet ( or whichever fish you prefer) 
Fresh or frozen green beans ( or whichever green vegetable you prefer)
Whole wheat pasta
Garlic
 Two Tomatoes (diced) 
Fresh lemon
Thyme
Basil
Olive Oil
Salt
Lemon-pepper seasoning 

Prep:


Lemon pepper Tilapia:

1. Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and lemon pepper seasoning.

2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Give the fish a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.



Pasta with Tomatoes & Garlic:
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions, in a separate pan saute diced tomatoes, and garlic in a table for two to three minute over medium heat.

2. Add your cooked pasta to the pan, tossed pasta in pan add enough olive oil to light coat the pasta. Make sure to thoroughly mix contents, the salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.







Green beans with garlic (using fresh or frozen green beans)
1. Boil for steam your beans for about 5 minutes, you want them to be cooked with out loosing their bite. In a separate pan heat two tablespoons of olive oil then add chopped garlic. 
2. Drain your beans then add them to the pan with the garlic.Toss the beans in the olive oil and garlic for about 5 minuets or just long enough to cook the remain water out of them. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.





The meal was light, delicious, quick, and extremely satisfying.
