Pan Seared Lemon Tilapia with Parmesan Pasta image

Citrusy tilapia, served with a cheesy but light pasta.

Provided by vo0do0

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried cilantro
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light olive oil
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried cilantro
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the macaroni uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, oregano, basil, cilantro, salt, and pepper, and lay the fillets in the heated skillet, making sure they don't touch. Sear the fillets for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown on the outside, and opaque and flaky inside.
  • Return the hot, cooked macaroni to the saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pasta. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, stir to mix, and stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, the garlic powder, basil, oregano, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Divide the pasta between two plates, and top each with a tilapia fillet.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tilapia, look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes.
  • If you don't have lemon peppercorn seasoning, you can make your own by combining equal parts lemon zest, black peppercorns, and salt.
  • To prevent the tilapia from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with tilapia fillets. If you need to cook more than one fillet at a time, cook them in batches.
  • The tilapia is done cooking when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • The lemon-peppercorn pan sauce is a great way to add flavor to the tilapia. If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This sautéed tilapia recipe with lemon-peppercorn pan sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The tilapia is cooked to perfection and the pan sauce is bursting with flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
