Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 medium tilapia filets (roughly 6 ounces each)
  • kosher salt
  • fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter, then whisk in the garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of the fish lightly with salt and pepper. Place filets in the prepared baking dish, and pour butter mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with parsley and/or red pepper flakes, as desired, and serve.
