INGREDIENTS:
* 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
* 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
* 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger, divided
* 4 tsp olive oil, divided
* 1 tsp sesame oil, divided
* 4 6-oz tilapia fillets, skin & bones removed
* 2 tbsp sesame seeds
* 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
* 3 cups trimmed green beans (12 oz)
* 1/2 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425 F
2. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, 2 tsp ginger, 2 tsp olive oil & 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Place tilapia in a shallow nonstick or foil-lined baking pan and pour lime juice mixture over top, turning fillets to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over top of tilapia and bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Broil for 1 minute at the end to toast the sesame seeds!
3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium. Add remaining 4 tsp ginger and cook for one minute or until fragrant. Add broth, beans, salt and pepper, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until beans are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from heat, add remaining 1/2 tsp sesame seed oil and toss to coat.
4. Using a thin heat-proof spatula, lift tilapia from pan and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle with pan juices and serve immediately with green beans, dividing evenly.
did you take that picture, J? not fair that you have the good cameras! my meals are going to look like crap in comparison. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I was thinking the same thing Meg. Maybe J should take all the pics? Hey, this meal was a HUGE and I mean HUGE hit. Apparently my family likes fish and I don't make it enough...especially the white fish. Wow. They even had seconds! I did find the cooking time took a little longer and at the end I turned it to broil for a minute to toast the sesame seeds. Yum! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI took the picture with my phone so you can credit the coolness to the photographer ;) and the app, not the camera! Ha! And, yeah, this was a huge hit here too! Liv scarfed it down!! I will change the oven time in the recipe as I had to increase the time as well and if we weren't so hungry I would have broiled it for a minute at the end too! Glad you enjoyed it!
