Citrus Tilapia Dinner

So now that winter's over, everyone's trying their best to get back into shape for the warmer weather including myself.


I've been slowly trying to cook and eat even more healthy than I already do. Seafood is my absolute favorite. In this case, I'm using tilapia and although I enjoy just simple seasoning, baked or steamed, served with veggies and some rice, it may be boring to many, so I like to top it with key ingredients like flavored butter, citrus zest, etc.

This is nothing fancy, but I thought I'd share it anyway for those who are looking for an easy healthy meal that takes no time at all.

Fish

Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper as well as orange and lime zest. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top over filets.

prepare asparagus by snapping or cutting the bottoms. Chop into 2 inch pieces. Chop onions into pieces.
