This recipe started off as an experiment in making lemon pepper tilapia after discovering that *gasp* I had no lemon pepper seasoning mix in the house. So I started playing around and came up with something even better!
Aside from being meat-free and super simple, there's no salt at all in this recipe, so it's even healthier for you.

Baked Tilapia with Roasted Zucchini, Penne, and White Wine Cream Sauce
Prepare to drool a little bit, oh ye fish lovers out there....
I find tilapia to be a relatively versatile fish, as it's on the mild end of fishiness and there are a gazillion different ways to prepare it.
Of course, I generally just make lemon pepper tilapia. Which is delicious, and we love it, but it's not very glamorous.
I got a little bit adventurous last night, despite the fact that it was a Monday, I was tired, my brain was still fried from having done 24 report cards in about three and a half hours straight over the weekend, and I was trying to get the house straightened out for a dinner party I'm hosting Thursday night.
The result was this:
What was particularly beautiful is the fact that it was a three-pan meal (a baking sheet, a sauce pan, and my melting pot). And it only took 40 minutes start to finish, and only about 15 of that was hands-on work. And I also managed to make this entire dish without using a single grain of salt.
