Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets, Swai fish (any white fish like cod, flounder, or mahi mahi, would work great here)
  • Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted dairy-free butter (or regular butter)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger root
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Garnish:
  • Lemon
  • Italian parsley chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Instructions
  2. Pan Bake:
  3. Simply lay fillets, tomatoes, and asparagus out on a pan. Drizzle olive oil and coat with all the ingredients for the garlic butter sauce . Bake a 425 degree for 12-15 minutes, until the fillets reach an internal temp of at least 145 degrees.
  4. Make the Side Pasta:
  5. To a medium-sized pan, boil about 3 cups of water. Add about 4 servings or about 12 oz of pasta (three-quarters of a 1 lb box) and cook per packaging.
    Add the drippings from the sheet pan to the pasta to taste.
  6. Plate & Enjoy:
  7. Plate fish, veggies, and pasta. Drizzle the sauce on top with a spoon on the fillets, as well, and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: 
Be sure fillets are defrosted before baking to allow for an even bake.
If the fillets need to be defrosted, run under room temp water until thoroughly thawed.
