Lemon Tilapia with Cucumber and Feta Quinoa
- 1/2 cups Quinoa, Rinsed
- 1 cup Water
- 2 Fillets Tilapia, Rinsed
- 1 Lemon, Divided
- 2- 1/2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
- 1/2 cups Cucumber, Peeled And Diced
- 1/4 cups Feta Cheese, Crumbled
- Salt And Pepper
- In a small saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil.
- After the water begins to boil, reduce to a simmer and cover, allowing quinoa to absorb all water (about 1015 minutes).
- Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and juice from half of the lemon.
- Coat the bottom of a frying pan with 1 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil and saute the tilapia over medium heat until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily (about 4 minutes on each side).
- When the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, use a fork to fluff the quinoa and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, cucumber, feta, and juice from the remaining 1/2 lemon.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve quinoa immediately with the fish.
