TILAPIA WITH GREEN BEANS



Tilapia with Green Beans image

Dredging tender fish fillets in an herby coating and flash searing them along with green beans and cherry tomatoes makes an easy and healthy dinner. We like to use thin green beans -- they cook much faster.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
