Barb Szyszkiewicz shares a simple fish dish made even simpler with pre-shredded vegetables. Download our printable recipe card!

What can you do with a bag of broccoli slaw? Turns out, a lot more than simply making slaw. It's great in stir-fries, so if you've opened a bag and didn't use it all, this is a great way to serve the rest.

If you prep your vegetables while the oven preheats, you can cook the stir-fry as the fish bakes, and it will all be done at the same time.

Lemon Tilapia with Broccoli Slaw Stir-Fry

Makes 4 servings

For the fish:

2 TBSP butter, melted
4 tilapia fillets
Lemon pepper seasoning to taste
1/2 tsp parsley flakes
4 lemon slices

Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour melted butter into the bottom of a glass baking dish big enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Add the fish, flipping it once or twice so it's coated in butter. Season with lemon pepper.

Bake 10 minutes. When fish is done, serve on top of stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with parsley flakes and lemon slices.

For the vegetables:

1 TBSP vegetable oil
1 onion, cut in thin vertical slices
3 cups broccoli slaw mix
1 bell pepper (yellow, orange, or red), julienned

Heat a large wok or skillet on very high heat. Turn down to medium and add oil until it shimmers. Add onions first; 2 minutes later, add remaining vegetables. Stir fry until vegetables are done to your liking.
