Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
- Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Nestle the tilapia fillets among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- Arrange the lemon slices over the tilapia and vegetables.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
