Preparation
1
Cook orzo

  • Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • While the pan heats, pat tilapia dry with paper towels. Season with 2 tsp (4 tsp) Zesty Garlic Blend.
  • Add tilapia to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3
Toast breadcrumbs

  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) butter and breadcrumbs.
  • Toast, stirring often, for 1-2 min, until butter melts and breadcrumbs are golden.
  • Remove from heat.

4
Roast tilapia

  • Spread mayo over tops of tilapia.
  • Sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs over mayo, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, 8-10 min, until tilapia is cooked through.**

5
Finish orzo

  • Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted. 
  • Add zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
  • Add tomatoes, stock powder, remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, orzo and reserved pasta water
  • Season with pepper, then bring to a simmer.

6
Finish and serve

  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium.
  • Add Parmesan. Stir until Parmesan melts and mixture thickens slightly and coats orzo, 2-3 min.
  • Divide orzo between plates. Top with tilapia.
