Savor the bright, fresh flavors of tender tilapia accented by lemon and aromatic herbs, finished with a luscious garlic butter sauce. This elegant dish strikes a perfect balance between protein-packed seafood and vibrant, zesty accents, making it an ideal choice for a nutritious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 tilapia fillet (6 oz/170g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves
1/2 medium lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, thyme)
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat dry the tilapia fillet and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the tilapia fillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
In a small pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown.
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the garlic butter sauce and stir in the chopped fresh herbs.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the cooked tilapia fillet and serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
