Baked Tilapia w/ Roasted Asparagus, Hash Browns, and...

Dinner Tonight: Baked Tilapia w/ Roasted Asparagus, Hash Browns, and Whole Grain Bread



Excellent dinner tonight! Not to mention low calorie and low carb. I had a Tilapia fillet that I seasoned with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn along with Parsley. I then rolled the fillet in Italian Style Bread Crumbs and Parm Shredded Cheese. Baked at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, turning once half way through the baking time. Came moist and flaky, delicious!

Along with the Tilapia I had sides of Roasted Asparagus, Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. I'll leave the recipe for the Roasted Asparagus at the end of the post. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Ice Cream topped with Del Monte No Sugar Sliced Peaches.

Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

    2 bunches medium asparagus
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Grated or shaved Parmesan, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, usually about 1 1/2 inches. Lightly peel the remaining stalks (not always necessary, but more of a personal preference). Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and roll to coat thoroughly.

Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
