Stir-fry Tilapia with Asparagus

*This recipe was sitting in my blog before I created Recipebox. It’s a simple yet flavorful recipe. Give it a try and let me know 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lbs fillet of tilapia or any firm fish
  • 1/2 lbs asparagus
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Salt & pepper fish slices to taste.
  2. Heat skillet to medium-high, add 3 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Fry fish till golden brown and remove from heat.
  4. In the same oil, add shallots and fry till tender.
  5. Add crushed red pepper.
  6. Add chopped garlic and fry till fragrant.
  7. Throw in the asparagus, salt and pepper to taste.
  8. After 1 minute, add the fish and serve immediately with rice. Awesomeness!

Serving suggestions: Served hot over rice, rice stick noodles or just as a main course.

After adding asparagus, do not overcook it. A little al dente, retains the color and taste. Bon appetite!
