Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
Roasted Potatoes
- 6 small potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp rosemary
Tilapia Fillets
- 2-3 tilapia fillets
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Line one large or two small baking sheets with aluminum foil and preheat oven to broil.
- Slice potatoes into wedges and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and rosemary.
- Next, place the fillets on the lined baking sheet. Melt the butter and add the garlic after removing from heat. Drizzle over fillets, and then place the lemon slices on top.
- Bake at a broil until the tilapia has reached an internal temperature of 145°F, or follow the instructions on packaging. This should take between 5 and 10 minutes. If the potatoes aren't yet golden brown, remove the fish and bake the wedges at 400°F until the edges become crispy.
- Remove from oven and serve with your favorite greens; beans, asparagus, Brussels sprouts are all delicious options!
