Ingredients

2 red potatoes (small)
2 Yukon potatoes (small)
0.5 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1 inch chunks)
1 cup green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 Roma tomato (cut into wedges)
2 tablespoon white onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
0.5 teaspoon cumin
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound tilapia fillets (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon Caribbean citrus seasoning blend (salt-free)
2 teaspoon olive oil
3 D'Anjou pears (medium)

Instructions

Heat oven to 425 °F. Scrub red potatoes and Yukon potatoes under running water, cut into 1-inch chunks.
In a large bowl, toss red potatoes, Yukon potatoes, yellow bell pepper, green beans, Roma tomato, white onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Spread mix in a 2-quart baking dish and place in oven.
Roast until potatoes and other vegetables are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
About 15 minutes after the potato dish was placed in the oven, put in a baking sheet with fish packets, prepared as follows: Brush tilapia fillets with 2 teaspoons olive oil, coat with Caribbean citrus seasoning blend.
Place each tilapia fillet in the center of a square of aluminum foil (or substitute foil with parchment paper).
Cut D'Anjou pears into quarters and core; slice into thin wedges (about 8 to 12 per pear). Top tilapia fillets with pear wedges.
Bring the foil over the tilapia fillets and D'Anjou pears.
Fold and pinch the seams.
Place foil packets on a baking sheet.
Bake about 20 minutes, until tilapia fillets are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 °F, confirmed with a food thermometer, and D'Anjou pears are tender.
To serve, carefully open the packet, slide contents onto individual serving plates, and add roasted vegetables.
