Cooking Steps

Prep & Mix Topping
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Finely chop parsley. Halve, core, and dice apple into bite-size pieces. Halve lemon. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.

  • In a small bowl, combine panko, half the parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine apple, remaining parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from all the lemon, salt, and pepper.

Make Salad
2
  • In a second small bowl, combine apple, remaining parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from the lemon, salt, and pepper.

  • Using a potato masher or fork, mash cauliflower with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper until creamy. TIP: If cauliflower does not mash easily, microwave, uncovered, in 1-minute intervals until tender.

  • Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Make Cauliflower Mash
3
  • Place cauliflower in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until tender and falling apart easily, 7-9 minutes.

  • Using a potato masher or fork, mash cauliflower with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper until creamy. TIP: If cauliflower does not mash easily, microwave, uncovered, in 1-minute intervals until tender.

  • Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Season Zucchini & Coat Tilapia
4
  • While cauliflower cooks, toss zucchini on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.)

  • Pat tilapia* dry with paper towels; season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil to empty side of baking sheet; add tilapia. (For 4, place tilapia on a second oiled sheet.) Mound tilapia with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).

Roast Zucchini & Tilapia
5
  • Roast zucchini and tilapia on top rack until zucchini is browned and tender and tilapia is golden and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. (For 4 servings, roast zucchini on top rack and tilapia on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

Serve
6
  • Divide apple salad (draining first), cauliflower mash, zucchini, and tilapia between plates; serve.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: The panko crust added a nice touch to the tilapia, while the lemon brightened up the dish 🍋.
  • Ease of prep: Some found the cauliflower mash challenging; consider adding liquid for a creamier texture.
  • Suggestions: A sauce could enhance the overall flavor; try pairing the apple salad thoughtfully with the main dish.
