Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Tilapia

Garlic butter tilapia, asparagus, and juicy cherry tomatoes - all on one sheet pan. A simple, flavorful dinner without a sink full of dishes afterward.

I'm all for a dinner that doesn't require juggling five different pans. This sheet pan meal combines tilapia, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes with a garlicky lemon butter sauce and Italian seasoning.

Serve it over your grain of choice for a complete meal with protein, vegetables, and starch.

Minimal dishes, plenty of flavor, and dinner is handled. We love that.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

04

Place the tomatoes in a single layer in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over your grain of choice with the reserved butter mixture. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
