Lemon Herb Pan Seared Tilapia with Garlic Butter Sauce
Savor a delicate, pan-seared tilapia fillet infused with bright lemon and fresh herbs, all elevated by a rich garlic butter sauce. Perfectly balanced with lean protein and a hint of indulgence, this dish is an inspiring blend of simplicity and gourmet flair.
INGREDIENTS
1 tilapia fillet (6 oz, approx 170g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the chopped fresh herbs and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the tilapia fillet in the pan.
Cook the fillet for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a separate small pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Remove the garlic butter from heat and stir in the herb-lemon mixture.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the cooked tilapia fillet, garnish with a little extra fresh herb if desired, and serve immediately.
