Pan-Seared Tilapia with Lemon Dill Asparagus

How to make it

1. 1

   Pat your tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps them get a beautiful sear. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Snap the woody ends off your asparagus. You can just bend them until they break naturally.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it starts to foam slightly.

4. 4

   Add the tilapia fillets to the hot skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the asparagus. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the asparagus. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Stir in the fresh dill.

7. 7

   Serve the pan-seared tilapia immediately with the lemon dill asparagus alongside. Enjoy your delicious and easy meal.
