Tilapia, Rice, Asparagus - Dinner in 10 minutes!

Let's face it, there are times that Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals just aren't in the cards. You're lucky if you've got the 15minutes to bake a frozen pizza. I made a meal tonight that was simple, delicious, fresh, and with minimal chopping!

Ingredients
Tilapia fillets
1-2 tbsp butter
salt, pepper, any other dried spice (thyme, parsley)
squeezed fresh lemon
dash of white wine
capers (optional)
asparagus ends trimmed
trader joes frozen organic brown rice (takes 3 minutes in microwave!)
parmesan shavings

So basically, pop the rice in the micro and meanwhile saute asparagus with salt and pepper. Remove to plate and then in same pan melt butter, sear seasoned tilapia on both sides for a minute or two. Add lemon and white wine. Put lid on for another minute or two. Top with parmesan, capers, and even diced tomato if you have it on hand. And thats a wrap! Enjoy!

Oh and of course the perfect wine pairing... Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. This region creates a white with nice acidity and a slight sweetness that will balance well with the salty capers.
