Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers

Sheet pan meals are great for meal prepping. Our Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers meal prep recipe is quick and delicious. The perfect seafood recipe for dinner on a busy week.

Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers is a delicious, nutritious seafood meal prep that is a little different from the usual weeknight dinners. Tilapia is a lean white fish, packed with protein that has a mild, delicate flavor. It has less of a fishy flavor which makes it very versatile. The soft, flaky meat of Tilapia easily melts in your mouth and absorbs the sweet flavors of the bell peppers. 

The bell peppers not only impart sweet notes on the Tilapia but they also add vibrancy to the dish. While the Tilapia brings protein, vitamin B12 and a series of other nutrients, the bell peppers provide vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. They are also rich in antioxidants. Bell peppers bring a crisp bite with a refreshing flavor that lightens the meal. The different colors of bell peppers designate the ripeness of the pepper, the green peppers bring a slightly bitter taste, while red, orange, and yellow are sweeter and milder. A mix of bell peppers can bring balance to your meal.

The last component to the dish is the zucchini which rounds out the nutrition and is low in calories and carbohydrates. High in fiber, vitamin A and C, zucchini is beneficial to weight management, skin health, and immune system. The additional water content of zucchini can also help bring a bit of moisture to the dish in case you over cook anything. 

Sheet pan seafood dinners are quick and nutritious. Cut the veggies, preheat the oven, and place everything on a sheet pan. That’s it, you’re done.
