Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Toss broccolini and garlic with cooking oil and spread out on a second sheet pan. Season with some salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer both sheet pans to the oven. Roast until fish flakes easily with a fork and broccolini is tender but still crunchy. They should finish around the same time, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Reheat pesto briefly in the microwave.
  5. Squeeze lemon juice over broccolini.
  6. Spoon pesto onto serving plates. Top pesto with tilapia. Serve with broccolini and lemon wedges on the side.
