honey lime tilapia + spicy green beans

In an attempt to win a tiny bit in the battle against endless weight gain, we have decided to go low-carb for dinner.  Enter protein and vegetable dishes!  Tonight I made a pan seared tilapia with a simple but savory green bean dish.  It's a mild but flavorful combination.

Tilapia:
1. Marinate 2 tilapia fillets in 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp honey, juice of 1 lime, and sprinkles of salt and pepper.
2. Coat a non-stick pan with a spray of olive oil and turn the heat on high.  When the pan is super hot, add the fillets and sear for 20 seconds. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes.  Flip the fillets and sear on high heat for another 20 seconds, followed by another 4 minutes of medium cooking.
3. Done!

Green Beans:
1. Wash and cut 1 lb green beans into halves.  Boil in .25 cups water covered for 5 minutes and uncovered until the rest simmers off.
2. Cook with 2-3 cloves minced garlic for 2 minutes on medium heat.
3. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tsp brown sugar, and 2 tsp red chile flakes.  Saute for an additional 3 minutes, and enjoy!
