Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh Basil
  • 1 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Pitted Green Olives
  • 1 small Lemon
  • 3 tbsp Pine Nuts, Toasted
  • 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grape Seed Oil
  • 2 cup Red Potatoes
  • 3 cup Fresh Green Beans
  • 4 4 oz Tilapia Fillets
  • 1 Nonstick Cooking Spray
  • 1/4 cup Reduced Fat Sour Cream
  • 1 Lemon

Instructions
 

  • For the Pesto: Combine all of the pesto ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth and combined. (Turn off the motor, and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed while processing.)  For the Tilapia with Potatoes and Green Beans: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    Place the potatoes in a saucepan covered with cool water;  cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. (Hint: A fork inserted into the center of a potato should slide in and out with ease.)
    Meanwhile, place the green beans in a steam basket set over a pot of boiling water. Steam the beans until crisp-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Hold warm.
    Place the tilapia fillets on a baking pan coated with cooking spray. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto evenly over the top of each fillet. Bake in the preheated oven until just cooked through (flakes easily with a fork), about 15 minutes.
    Serve the tilapia with 1/4 of the steamed green beans and potatoes; drizzle 1 tablespoon of sour cream over the potatoes, and garnish each plate with a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
