PAN SEARED LEMON TILAPIA WITH PARMESAN PASTA
Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the macaroni uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, oregano, basil, cilantro, salt, and pepper, and lay the fillets in the heated skillet, making sure they don't touch. Sear the fillets for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown on the outside, and opaque and flaky inside.
- Return the hot, cooked macaroni to the saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pasta. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, stir to mix, and stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, the garlic powder, basil, oregano, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Divide the pasta between two plates, and top each with a tilapia fillet.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA
Steps:
- Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly, make sure they are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to an even thickness.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
- To make the lemon-rosemary sauce, simply whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, and garlic in a small bowl. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the lemon-rosemary sauce over the cooked tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared rosemary lemon tilapia is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The fish is cooked to perfection and the lemon-rosemary sauce is bursting with flavor. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
