Lemon Garlic Tilapia


From allrecipes.com

4 tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter, melted (or 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Rinse tilapia fillets under cool water, and pat dry with paper towels.
3. Place fillets in baking dish. Pour lemon juice over fillets, then drizzle butter on top. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and pepper.
(I used the juice of 1 1/2 limes, drizzled olive oil on top, and sprinkled with minced garlic and chopped cilantro stems.)
4.Bake in preheated oven until the fish is white and flakes when pulled apart with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.

I made a lot of substitutions with this recipe - lime instead of lemon, olive oil instead of butter, fresh cilantro instead of parsley. The fish came out perfectly flaky. We served this over spaghetti and topped it with Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan definitely added a lot.
