Categories     Fish     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
Cooking spray
1 lemon, quartered
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Coat both sides of fish with cooking spray; place in pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish on a serving platter; squeeze lemon quarters over fish. Place butter and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Serve with fish.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, salmon, or tilapia for skillet cooking.
  • Season Wisely: Enhance the fish's flavor with a simple combination of salt, pepper, and paprika. Experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Give the fish fillets ample space in the skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Maintain a medium heat throughout the cooking process to prevent the fish from burning or overcooking.
  • Flip Carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the fish fillets once to ensure even cooking without breaking them.
  • Baste with Butter: Basting the fish fillets with melted butter during cooking adds flavor and keeps them moist.
  • Use a Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish fillet to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for flaky, cooked fish.

Conclusion:
