Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon until combined; set aside.
- Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Layer the vegetables in the center of each piece of foil, starting with the mushrooms, then the celery and scallions. Dot the vegetables with some of the herb butter (use about half) and season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. 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.
- Bring the foil ends together, fold over and crimp closed on all sides to make sealed packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through but still moist, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the packets from the oven and let sit 2 minutes before opening. Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA WITH CHILE LIME BUTTER
Nice, fresh-tasting dish that comes together in a snap. Make it even quicker by preparing the chile lime butter ahead of time. It can be made 1 day ahead, covered and chilled. Just make sure to bring to room temperature before using. I like this served atop jasmine rice. -adapted from Gourmet

TILAPIA WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER
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.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add tilapia fillets (thawed if frozen) to the pan.
- Sprinkle the fish with garlic powder (use more or less depending on your tastes).
- Pour lime juice over fish (use more or less depending on your tastes).
- Saute the tilapia until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork (I usually turn once during cooking).
- Serve while hot. I like to serve this with a side of rice pilaf and california blend veggies.
Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry: Before cooking, pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously: Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help bring out the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat: Cooking the fillets over medium heat will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Make sure the lime-herb butter is melted before serving: The lime-herb butter should be melted before serving so that it can easily coat the tilapia fillets.
Conclusion:
Tilapia with Lime-Herb Butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The tilapia fillets are cooked to perfection and the lime-herb butter adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
