Ingredients

    2 C water
    Zest/Juice of 1 lemon (zest and 2 Tsp)
    5 T Basil Pesto, divided
    8 oz tomato trinity mix (Fresh diced tomato, onion and bell peppers) divided
    4 tilapia filets (1.25 lb)
    1Tbls canola oil
    1/2 C reduced sodium vegetable broth
    1/4 C balsamic vinegar

Directions


Bring exactly 2 cups water to boil for pasta. Stir orzo into boiling water; cook and stir 4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low; simmer and stir often for 3–4 more minutes or until orzo is tender and most of liquid has been absorbed. (Important to stir orzo, to prevent sticking; no draining needed.)
Stir in 3 tablespoons pesto, 1/2 cup tomato trinity, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Remove pan from heat and cover; set aside.
Preheat large nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season fish on both sides with garlic/herb seasoning. Place oil in pan, then add fish; cook 1–2 minutes or until fish is lightly browned. Turn fish over.
Combine broth, vinegar, remaining 3/4 cup tomato trinity, and remaining 2 tablespoons pesto. Add to fish; cook 2–3 minutes or until mixture reduces by about one-half and fish flakes easily. Serve with orzo.
