Lemon pepper tilapia with crisp greens

These frozen fillets come ready to cook with seasoning built in, so dinner is a matter of crisping them in a pan and building a side that takes the same time. A handful of greens wilted in butter makes a quiet counterpoint to the bright coating.

Serves 2. 20 minutes, 15 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 4 ounces spinach or other tender greens

From your shelf

  • 2 fillets lemon pepper tilapia fillets

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, place the 2 tilapia fillets in the pan and let them sit without moving for 3 minutes until the underside is golden.
  2. Flip the fillets gently and cook for 2 more minutes until the second side is opaque and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 minced garlic clove. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add 4 ounces of greens, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste. Toss constantly until the greens are wilted and any liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  5. Divide the greens between two plates and top each with 1 tilapia fillet. Serve at once.

Note Swap the greens for roasted broccoli or asparagus if you prefer. Leftovers keep refrigerated for one day; flake the fish and toss with the greens for a cold salad. Serve with rice or bread to catch the pan juices.
