Baked Cajun Tilapia and Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

This tilapia is lovely, very tasty and pairs well with most veggie sides. Like the great Julia Child said, "With enough butter, anything is good."  Serves 2-4.

Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets
3-4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced OR 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
olive oil

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Cover a large baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Rinse tilapia under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. With fish on a plate, sprinkle both sides with Cajun seasoning and place into baking dish.

Toss cauliflower and broccoli in oil and pepper; set aside.

Saute butter in a small pan over medium heat until melted, then add garlic and lemon. Saute for a couple of minutes then pour butter mixture over fish. OR heat in microwave until melted then add lemon and garlic and pour over fish.

Place fish and veggies in the oven together, baking the fish 8 minutes or until it apart with a fork (8 minutes was perfect in my oven. Try not to overcook the fish as it becomes rather rubbery if you do.) and the veggies for about 15 minutes, flipping half way through.
