- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon until combined; set aside.

Lay the tilapia fillets over the vegetables; dot with the remaining herb butter. Sprinkle each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH LOTS OF SPICE
This is a fabulous recipe for oven fried tilapia slightly adapted from Paul Prudhomme's wonderful "Fork In The Road" lower fat cookbook. I served this for dinner with family and it got rave reviews. Even my picky 5 year old eater enjoyed it. The ingredient list here is long, but is mostly spices. Please don't be put off, this is wonderful stuff and once you get the spice mixture combined, quite easy to make.
