Provided by HisPixie

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

36 ounces tilapia fillets (6 6-ounce filets)
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
4 teaspoons parsley, fresh
salt and pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Melt butter on a low flame in a small sauce pan. Add garlic and saute on low for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and shut off flame.
  • Spray the bottom of a baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Place the fish on top and season with salt and pepper. Pour the lemon butter mixture on the fish and top with fresh parsley. Bake at 400° until cooked, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia: Look for firm, bright-colored fillets with no off odors.
  • Season the tilapia well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The fillets should be in a single layer so they cook evenly.
  • Bake at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the tilapia.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The lemon-butter-garlic sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you can also try other sauces, such as pesto or teriyaki.
  • Serve immediately: Tilapia is best when served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked lemon-butter-garlic tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tilapia is flaky and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
