Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4-6 tilapia loins, (about 4 oz. each)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil ((olive, canola, or vegetable))
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano pepper
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 large lemon, (cut in half with one half sliced and the other half squeezed)
  • Salt and pepper, (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley, (chopped for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400℉/205℃.
  • Rinse the fish loins or fillets, dry them, then rub them with seasoned salt and pepper. Place fish in an ungreased 9"x13" baking dish and set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large pan or skillet, and then add butter, garlic, thyme, paprika, and oregano pepper. Stir for about a minute.
  • Pour about ½ cup chicken broth, white pepper, and about 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice from a freshly squeezed lemon into the butter sauce. (Start with a teaspoon and adjust to taste, then lightly season sauce with salt if desired).
  • Then pour the sauce over the fish and proceed with baking.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 400℉/205℃ for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
