TILAPIA WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER



Tilapia With Garlic Lime Butter image

This recipe was somewhat of an accident for me. My mom had prepared some homemade garlic butter for some reason and I mistakenly used it instead of regular butter to saute some Tilapia filets. I usually put lemon on my fish, but we were out, so I used lime juice instead. Everyone really liked it, so I make it all the time now. Even my very picky husband requests it! It's easy to adjust this recipe to feed more or less people.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets: Fresh tilapia fillets will yield the best results. If you're using frozen fillets, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Season the fish generously: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it generously. The recipe in the article calls for a simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can also use other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Add the lime juice and cilantro at the end of cooking: Adding the lime juice and cilantro at the end of cooking will help to brighten the flavors of the dish. If you add them too early, they may lose their flavor.
