4 servings
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest, divided
1 tablespoon black garlic, minced (or substitute 1 teaspoon regular garlic, minced)
3 tablespoons Chosen Foods Black Garlic Avocado Mayo
4 (4-ounce) filets tilapia
⅓ cup raw sunflower seeds
8 cups (about 1 bunch) mustard greens, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 lemon (4 wedges)
Directions
- Heat oven to 425 F.
- In a small bowl blend black pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest, garlic and mayo.
- Coat top side of tilapia filets with mayo mixture, using the back of a tablespoon or spatula.
- Coarsely grind the sunflower seeds in a food processor, taking care not to grind them too finely. Press sunflower seeds onto the top sides of the fish filets so that they stick and form a crust.
- Wash mustard greens and spin in salad spinner to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Put the greens in a bowl and sprinkle with avocado oil and salt. Use your hands to combine and make sure the greens are completely coated with oil.
- Using a baking sheet, spread mustard greens and top with coated filets. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until fish is firm and sunflower seeds have started to brown.
- Transfer to a serving platter, arranging the fish on top of greens. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges.
