Tips
- Ensure your fillet is thawed completely before cooking.
- Try to cut the vegetables into similar sizes to allow them to cook evenly
- Use whatever fish seasoning you prefer if you don’t have lemon seasoning! Salt and pepper work just fine too.
Benefits
Tilapia has many benefits for your luteal phase as it is packed full of B vitamins. Pairing tilapia with a complex carb like brown rice and vegetables makes for a perfect dinner during your luteal phase.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillet
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 cup water
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 2 white potatoes
- 1 stalk of asparagus
- Zesty lemon fish seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
Directions
- Set oven to 350F. Clean and chop potatoes and asparagus and lay on a cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle salt and pepper. Place in oven for 40 minutes, tossing occasionally until vegetables are tender.
- Mix 1 cup water and 1 cup rice into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil then let simmer for approximately 15 minutes until rice is cooked.
- While the rice is cooking, season the tilapia fillet with salt, pepper, and lemon seasoning. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a medium pan over medium heat. Cook the tilapia fillet until the internal temperature reaches 145F. Another way to tell if the tilapia is cooked is to press down on the fillet with a fork and see if it flakes off easily. If so, it is cooked.
- Once everything is cooked, top it all on a plate and enjoy!
