Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia filets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 medium-sized Red bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the tilapia filets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the seasoned tilapia filets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet.
Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin rounds and halves, and add them to the skillet along with the cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet slightly crisp.
Return the cooked tilapia to the skillet, nestling the filets among the vegetables.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the skillet and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.
