Ingredients

    Tilapia
    1 tilapia fillets (5-6 oz)
    1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
    Dash salt & pepper
    1/2 shallot, minced
    Dill weed, 1/4 tsp dried or 1 fresh
    Lemon wedge (to serve with the fish)
    ---
    Potatoes & Carrots
    New potatoes, 125 grams (about 4, but varies by size)
    1/2 carrot, peeled and thickly sliced
    Margarine, 1 tsp
    Parsley, 1 tbsp fresh, or 1 tsp dried (if using dried, a seasoning blend might be preferable since dry parsley is rather bland)
    Dash salt & pepper

Tips

If you want the potatoes & carrots crispier, you can also add them to the baking sheet the fish is on for the last 2-3 minutes.


Directions

1. Bring small pot of salted water to boil. Scrub potatoes. Place in boiling water, cover, cook 8 minutes. Turn on broiler.
2. Add carrot to pot and cook additional 8-10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Meanwhile, arrange fish on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, shallot and dill. Place under broiler, approximately 6 inches from heat, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 8 minutes.
4. Drain potatoes & carrots; return to pot, on low heat. Shake pan until moisture evaporates (30 seconds). Add margarine, parsley, salt &pepper, toss to coat.
