Pan Seared Lemon Tilapia with Parmesan Pasta Recipe

Start by squeezing the juice of one lemon over the tilapia fillets. Season the fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.

While the tilapia is cooking, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.

Squeeze the juice of the second lemon over the drained pasta. Add the Parmesan cheese and parsley to the pot and toss everything together until well combined.

To serve, divide the pasta among four plates and top each portion with a tilapia fillet. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
