BAKED TILAPIA

Ingredients

• 4 6-oz Tilapia fillets (1.5 lb total)

• 1/4 cup Unsalted butter

• 1 medium Lemon

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley or rosemary

• 2 cloves Garlic (crushed or minced)

• 1 tsp Sea salt

• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Use paper towels to pat the fish fillets dry. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet or dish.

3. Cut the lemon in half. Juice and zest one half (about 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest). Slice the other half into thin slices.

4. In a small bowl in the microwave, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and crushed garlic.

5. Brush the garlic lemon butter over the tilapia fillets. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Flip and repeat both lemon butter and seasoning on the other side. Arrange the lemon slices over the fish.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, (will vary by thickness), until the baked tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
