Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Drain and rinse beans. Remove and discard any large stems from kale. Quarter lemon.
• Pat tilapia dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Set aside until ready to use.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Add tomato, beans, stock concentrates, ¼ cup water, and 2 TBSP butter (½ cup water and 4 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
• Once beans, veggies, and broth are simmering, add kale. Cover pan with lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale has wilted, 2-3 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Place tilapia over beans and kale. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover pan with lid; simmer until fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, 8-10 minutes more.
• Squeeze juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings) over tilapia . • Divide tilapia and red beans and kale between plates; serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Wow! This was delicious. The onions almost caramelized and the beans/ kale/ onion side was so good my husband actually saved the recipe. Love healthy food that tastes amazing
I was amazed at the delicious flavors in the kale and beans. The salmon was very good but the kale and beans were really the stars of this dish. Also love the one pan wonder.
Cooked salmon separately crisping the skin well. Great blend of flavors. Two thumbs up from husband
Awesome variety of veggies and protein options with tasty sauce! 2 thumbs up
I can't wrap my head around how good this was. Really incredible, so simple. Thank you.
I subbed the salmon. Simply but satisfying meal. I had issues with the kale being nearly spoiled and the garlic clove rotted. I had my own garlic. It was the stem pieces of the kale that had turned mushy and smelled, spoiling the bulk of the chopped kale in the bag. Kale is so hardy...maybe shipping whole leaves and letting us chop it up...?
