Enjoy a light yet flavorful tilapia dish featuring perfectly pan-seared tilapia fillets enhanced with a zesty lemon herb and garlic butter sauce. This dish delivers a bright, citrus-infused taste with a rich butter finish, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tilapia and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily.
While the tilapia cooks, melt 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley into the melted butter, mixing well to form a garlic lemon butter sauce.
Once the tilapia is done, transfer it to a serving plate and drizzle the garlic butter sauce evenly over the top.
Finish with an optional sprinkle of extra parsley or a squeeze more lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
