Baked Lemon Garlic Tilapia with Steamed Broccoli and Brown Rice
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 cups of broccoli florets
- 2 cups of brown rice
- 4 cups of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the juice and zest of 1 lemon, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish and pour the lemon garlic mixture over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
- Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the tilapia is baking, prepare the brown rice by combining 2 cups of brown rice with 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a separate pot, steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still bright green.
- Serve the baked lemon garlic tilapia alongside the steamed broccoli and brown rice. Enjoy!
