HERB Roasted fish with rainbow style veggies
Make your weeknight dinner an easeful process with this simple, healthy dinner. Its so quick and super flavourful. Throw in whatever vegetables you have in the refrigerator, there is no right or wrong here - the rule to follow is, the more colourful the better.
I’ve used tilapia in this recipe which is a great low carb option and high in B12. But really, any white fish will do the trick.
Ingredient List:
Serves: 2
2 - 4 tilapia fillets, based on size
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
6 mini bell peppers in different colours
A bunch of asparagus
4 oz mushrooms
salt, pepper, to taste
1 tsp paprika
1.5 tablespoon butter (vegan options available)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley or thyme
1/4 lemon, sliced
Olive oil
Let’s Cook!
Preheat oven to 400 F.
In a bowl, mix a tablespoon of olive oil, butter, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well.
Place the tilapia fillets on the tray and pour over this mixture so it covers the fish well. Place lemon slices on top of of the fish fillets.
Season the asparagus and peppers with salt and pepper and place them around the fish. You could use a separate tray for the veggies if you prefer.
Bake the tilapia and asparagus for about 12 min. Both cook fast!
Check the peppers, they might be ready too. If you prefer them a little more roasted, you could keep them in a few more min. But safe to say, they are ready to eat!
While the tilapia and veggies are roasting, add some olive oil to a pan and saute the mushrooms on high with garlic, salt and pepper. It shouldn’t take more than 3-4 min.
Enjoy your simple meal, all within 30 min!
Happy Cooking!
