Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 18 to 36 ounces tilapia fish fillets (3-6 fillets, 6 ounces each, or any other white fish)

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (4 tablespoons, if no cooking spray)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter on a low heat, in a small sauce pan. The rest will be melted and placed into the pan for baking if cooking spray is available.

  • Step 3: Add garlic, and saute on low for about 1 minute.

  • Step 4: Add all but 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, shut burner off, and remove from heat.

  • Step 5: Spray the bottom of a baking dish lightly with cooking spray (or remaining melted butter) and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.

  • Step 6: Place the fish on top and season with herbs, salt, and pepper.

  • Step 7: Pour the lemon butter mixture over the fish, and top with fresh parsley for garnish.

  • Step 8: Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes or until semi-golden brown. Cooking time depends on how thick fillets are, so check to make sure they are done.
