Garrrrlicccccc.
This is SO EASY. And it tastes really good. And yeah, there's some butter in it, but overall it's a pretty healthy meal.
I found this recipe on Pinterest while searching for ways to use up lemons, because I had a few leftover. We've had it twice already this week, and I foresee making it many more times.
The Recipe:
2 tilapia fillets (or more; there is enough sauce for at least 4 fillets)
2 tb butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small lemon
salt and pepper
rice and veggies for serving (I like jasmine rice with lemon zest, and greens sauteed in the pan that had the sauce)
- Melt butter in a pan (recommended tip: use a big enough pan for your veggies, so you can sautee them in the remnants of the sauce while the fish bakes)
- Add garlic and sautee for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic
- Add the juice of the lemon and turn off the heat
- Place tilapia filets in a shallow baking dish that has been prepared with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the sauce.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Top with parsley if you have it, and serve over rice and/or veggies
The Verdict:
Overall grade: A
Overall reason: I can imagine more depth of flavor, but this is the best I've ever done so easily
Time to prepare: 5 minutes, plus 15 minutes to bake
