LEMON DILL TILAPIA
I am one of those crazy people who loves fish. Baked, fried, broiled, grilled... I just love it. This dish is very light, extremely simple, and very tasty. Best of all, it's fool proof. I used Tilapia for this dish, but any kind of mild fish would work well with these flavors.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash fish fillets and pat dry between two paper towels. Lightly season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- 2. In a sauce pan, melt butter and saute lemon zest,juice, garlic, onion, and herbs... then add olive oil. Saute a couple minutes till heated through. (about 5 minutes or so)
- 3. In a medium glass baking dish place fish fillets and pour the lemon butter herb sauce over them. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper over the fillets to taste then cover with two layers of foil. Put in the oven and slow roast for 2 hours.
- 4. can serve with rice, or roasted redskinned potatoes (lemon butter with dill goes well with both) and a nice green side salad. Enjoy!
- 5. 2 hours may seem like a long time to cook the fish, but the double layer of foil keeps all the moisture and flavor in the fish so it's light and flakey when you take it out of the oven.
Tips:
- To ensure the tilapia cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If they are not, use a sharp knife to carefully slice them to an even thickness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly and may become soggy.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking. If you do not have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with a little oil or butter.
- Cook the tilapia over medium heat. High heat will cause the fish to overcook and become dry.
- The tilapia is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the fish, or it will become tough.
- Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or potatoes.
