Grab a 13 by 9 inch greased baking pan (stoneware, ceramic, or glass).

Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with extra virgin olive oil, using a paper towel to coat evenly.

Take four tilapia fillets out of the packaging and dry them with paper towels to remove moisture.

Use kitchen shears to cut open the packaging and discard it along with the paper towel used to dry the fish.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the tilapia fillets to help the dry ingredients stick.

In a bag, combine 1 teaspoon of organic turmeric, 0.5 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt.

Add the tilapia fillets to the bag, close it, and shake gently to coat the fish with the seasoning.

Let the seasoned fish marinate in the refrigerator while preparing the vegetables.

In a bowl, add one 12-ounce bag of California Frozen mixed vegetables and some peas.

Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables and add the same seasonings used for the fish.

Put a lid on the bowl and shake to coat the vegetables evenly with oil and seasonings.

Pour the coated vegetables evenly into the greased baking pan, ensuring there are no gaps.

Take the marinated tilapia fillets out of the refrigerator and place them on top of the vegetables in the pan using tongs.

Cut 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and distribute them over the fish.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or longer for a crispier texture.

Serve hot and enjoy, shaking the pan to distribute the vegetables with the fish.
