I typically prep 80% of our lunches and dinner. However since we have gotten back from our cruise (another post, another day), I have tried to mix things up a bit! I decided to throw some fish back on the menu, I can't tell you the last time I bought Tilapia, cooked it at home and actually enjoyed it! Usually it is way too fishy for me but this was so good! And it was the EASIEST meal to throw together ever, especially on a week night!
No prep work, just out of the package & into the pan! I even used the same pan for the tilapia after I cooked the veggies to save myself (er...Aaron) the hassle of washing more than one pan! Yes, you read that right, he does the dishes around here too.
What you need:
2 pkg precut veggie mix from Trader Joe's (pictured)
1 lb Tilapia (farm-raised fresh tilapia from TJ's, pictured)
San-J Szechuan Sauce (or other flavor you like), this one is spicy!
1. Spray a large pan with olive oil cooking spray. Warm it up & throw in the veggies! Sauté them to your liking, I cook mine for a while because I prefer them softer.
2. Once they are done, set them aside, covered in a bowl or container.
3. Spray a tad more olive oil in the pan & place the tilapia in there.
4. Salt & pepper the fish. Cook 2 minutes & flip.
5. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the fish. (About 1-2 tsp total)
6. Cook another 5 minutes. Fish will flake when done.
7. Place 2 cups veggies on a plate with 1 piece of fish. Top with 1 tbsp of the sauce (or less if you can't handle spicy), serve immediately and devour!
You can add brown rice if you want or even turn it into tacos but it is perfect with just the veggies!
Enjoy! 🙌🏼
