Cooking Steps
- Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
- Halve potatoes lengthwise. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot; slice remaining shallot. Quarter lemon.
- Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), half the thyme (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (For 4, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.)
- Toss broccoli and sliced shallot on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet.)
- Roast potatoes and broccoli on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4 servings, roast potatoes on top rack and broccoli on middle rack.)
- Meanwhile, pat tilapia* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly with flour.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tilapia and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
- Turn off heat; transfer tilapia to a plate. Wipe out pan.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for tilapia over medium heat. Add minced shallot; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings) and stock concentrate; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until reduced by half, 2-4 minutes.
- Remove pan with shallot mixture from heat; stir in crème fraîche, ½ TBSP butter, and juice from one lemon wedge (1 TBSP butter and juice from two lemon wedges for 4 servings). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Divide potatoes, broccoli, and tilapia between plates. Top tilapia with pan sauce and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
