Lemon Butter Tilapia and Green Beans
Another cooking experiment that went well last night. Is anyone actually interested in my my posting these? If not, I'll stop. But I know a lot of others out there are cooking for one, and it's nice to share ideas of food that is quick to make and, if it serves more than one, reheats well.
Lemon Butter Tilapia and Green Beans
1 tilapia fillet
1 c French-cut green beans, thawed
1 T butter
2 T lemon juice
2 t roasted garlic (like this, but the roasted version)
1/2 t Shallot Salt
handful of flour
Heat the butter in a skillet. Dredge the fish fillet in flour. Brown fillet on both sides. Add garlic and lemon juice. Add green beans. Sprinkle on shallot salt. Cover and cook until fish is done, stirring occasionally. Remove fish, keep warm. Turn the heat to high and sauté the beans until a few of them are slightly browned (this is optional--I like that slightly-carmelized texture on my green beans). Serve fish on the green beans, in lieu of rice. Pour any remaining juice over the top of all.
