Asa Tibs

Ethiopian flavors, weeknight effort. Tilapia fillets meets red onion in a 25-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation. At 330 calories and 60g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 2 lb Tilapia fillets
• 1 Red onion
• 2 Jalapeños
• 2 Tomatoes
• 3 tbsp Niter kibbeh
• 1 tbsp Berbere
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Cilantro

Steps

1. Cut the tilapia into 2-inch chunks and pat very dry. Season with salt and half the berbere.
2. Sear in hot niter kibbeh 2 minutes per side until golden with crisp edges. Set aside — fish overcooks in a blink.
3. Char the onion wedges and jalapeños 2 minutes; add the garlic, ginger, and remaining berbere for 1 minute.
4. Add the tomato wedges and toss 2 minutes until just slumping. Return the fish for a 1-minute final toss.
5. Finish with lemon juice and cilantro; serve on injera immediately.
