Every now and then, I sneak in a healthy recipe. This is a favorite of mine for weeknight dinners or lunch meal prep. Seasoned fish bites with fresh peppers broiled in the oven and served with tortillas or over a bed of rice. Tilapia is a good choice for these, but feel free to expand your horizons by using a different milld fish like snapper, trout or bass.
After fully dousing the fish bites into the seasoning, place onto a sheet pan that has been prepared with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Scatter the julienned peppers and onions across the pan. Voila! Place in the oven to cook. You, my friend, have a sheet pan dinner now.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the rice or warm your tortillas. Enjoy!
