10-Minute Tilapia with Mixed Veggies

I am a seafood fanatic.  I haven’t met a tuna, scallop, salmon, cod, haddock, flounder, shrimp, etc., etc. etc. that I didn’t enjoy sinking my teeth into.  In fact, I originally wanted an all-seafood wedding… but that didn’t fly with my beef-and-potatoes-loving husband of mine.

Tonight was a tilapia kind of night for me.  There really isn’t anything special about this dish at all – and it doesn’t even look that pretty but it’s extremely easy to make and so beautifully flavored that it just seems more special than it really is!

All I did was cook the tilapia fillet in a pan with dry white wine and fresh lemon juice over medium heat.  I salted it sparingly and peppered it too.  I also added a dash of lemon pepper seasoning to both sides.  I then moved it to the oven where I broiled on high for about 2 minutes and voila!  A delicious lemony tilapia was ready in just minutes.  Paired with some steamed carrots and broccoli made this dinner light, tasty and above all: healthy!

Aren't the colors great??
