EasyTilapia and Lemon Garlic Sauce

Sunday night dinner cannot be easier than using this healthy recipe. It is a few ingredients dressing up Tilapia, but the flavor is unbelievable. The fish can be grilled, pan-fried, or baked, and the side dish is the summer steamed, grilled vegetables, such as squash, green bean,asparagus, broccoli, and carrots.

Ingredients:
Two 8 oz tilapia fillets
1 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tbs paprika
2 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs fresh chopped parsley
On the side:
Green beans, asparagus, mushrooms, white onions

Directions:
Bring a pot of water to boil. Quickly blanch green beans and asparagus in boiling water. Submerge the cooked vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking.
In a sauté pan, add oil, butter, and garlic. Cook on low heat until the garlic is just soft, not brown. Add lemon juice. Pour off the lemon, oil, butter mixture in a small bowl.
Sprinkle fish with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place fish on the same sauté pan and grill on the pan for one minute on each side of fish and top fish with lemon butter oil. Remove from heat and keep warm
In the same pan, add white onions and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are soft. Add green beans and asparagus. Season the vegetables with some salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes. This side dish can be steamed.
Place fish a serving plate with the sautéed vegetables. Enjoy.
