Sometimes the days are so long it's 9PM before I can even think of dinner. Usually, when this happens it means I've barely eaten all day and I'm about to fall over. Normal people just call for takeout but not me, I can't deal with sub par, unsatisfying food when I'm really hungry and in need of nutrition.
A quick gander through the fridge and the meal was set. Sauteed tomatoes and asparagus with tilapia.
It was all really simple and quick:
- Season your fish with salt, pepper, lemon, olive oil and some thyme.
- Sautee half a bunch of asparagus in some olive oil for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and lemon (remember to cut the ends off the asparagus first).
- Add some more oil and a pat of butter to your pan and cook the fish. 4 mins on each side.
- Just before fish is done add some grape tomatoes and a chopped spring onion to the pan.
- Plate it all up, add a squeeze of lemon and salt and pepper.
Its that easy and it's on your plate in about 20 minutes. That's quicker than takeout and infinitely more delicious!
