Feel free to sub another sustainable fish, such as flounder or red snapper, for the tilapia in this versatile dish.
How to Make It
Cook orzo according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
While pasta cooks, sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove fish from pan; keep warm.
Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan. Add crushed red pepper and garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add spinach; sauté 1 minute or just until spinach wilts. Stir in tomatoes, beans, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; cook 1 minute or just until thoroughly heated. Remove pan from heat. Add pasta to pan; toss to coat. Divide pasta mixture among 4 plates, and top with fish fillets. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
