Tilapia with Peppers and Lemon Cauliflower Rice

Years ago, before the trend, I decided to go low carb. It was for a number of reasons, but it was incredibly difficult to find recipes and ingredients that worked with my new diet. I came across the idea of ricing cauliflower in place of regular rice. I decided to try it, and it was awesome. But it was a bit tedious to do. Now that they have riced cauliflower available at the store, I am making recipes with it left and right!

This recipe combines healthy protein with fresh spring flavors for a satisfying meal. Customize it however you want – your culinary imagination is the limit!

Step One. 
Prep Step! Measure out and prepare all of your ingredients. Dice the peppers and onion – a diced size works nicely here since it is a topping for the fish. Preheat your oven to 425°F, and line a pan with parchment paper or foil.
Step Two: The Fish
Bake the fish! Lightly coat the fish with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until done. While the fish bakes, prepare the topping and the cauliflower.
Step Three: The Peppers Topping
Add 1 Tbsp of the oil into a pan set over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the peppers,  onion, garlic, and basil. Season with salt and pepper as you like. Stir occasionally over medium heat until onions are translucent and the peppers are cooked.
 
Step Four: The Cauliflower Rice
Heat another 1 Tbsp of oil in a separate pan over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the cauliflower rice. Stir to cook for about four minutes, then add the basil and zest the lemon into the pan. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice into the pan. Season as desired with salt and pepper.
Step Five: Assemble
Top the fish filets generously with peppers, and scoop the cauliflower rice on the side. If you have it on hand, sprinkle a littler parmesan on top! Pair with your favorite vegetable. Enjoy your healthy meal!
