This fresh, fast seafood recipe is paired with caramelized vegetables for wonderful flavor. The vegetable topping is also great piled onto sandwiches and as an omelet filler so make a double batch as long as your chopping. Serve with an easy to prepare starch such as couscous tossed with lemon zest, or frozen cooked brown rice that heats in just minutes in the microwave. Add a pop of colorful with some chopped grape tomatoes.
