tilapia with roasted spring vegetables.

My love affair with fennel continues.  I got 2 more bulbs recently and made one into my favorite salad (seen here) and the other I roasted with carrots and red onions.  It was perfect with some citrus tilapia for an unusually warm spring after work dinner.

juice of 1/2 lemon

juice of 1/2 orange

juice of 1/2 lime

salt and pepper to taste

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp red chili flakes

1 tsp paprika

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Add all ingredients (except paprika and parsley) to a bowl.  Add tilapia and marinade 30 minutes.  This is a good time to start on the vegetables!  On a small baking dish lined with foil (hello, clean up), add tilapia and sprinkle with paprika.  Roast with veggies about 15 minutes.  Top with fresh parsley to serve.
