Tilapia With Garlic Butter Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease an 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray*. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, parsley, onion powder, paprika, garlic and lemon juice. Set aside.
• Season tilapia with salt and pepper, to taste and place onto the prepared baking dish.
• Pour the butter mixture over the tilapia fillets.
• Place into oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with rice, cauliflower rice, mashed potato, mashed cauliflower or roasted veggies.

LEMON GARLIC TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Rinse tilapia fillets under cool water, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place fillets in baking dish. Pour lemon juice over fillets, then drizzle butter on top. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven until the fish is white and flakes when pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes.

TILAPIA WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add tilapia fillets (thawed if frozen) to the pan.
• Sprinkle the fish with garlic powder (use more or less depending on your tastes).
• Pour lime juice over fish (use more or less depending on your tastes).
• Saute the tilapia until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork (I usually turn once during cooking).
• Serve while hot. I like to serve this with a side of rice pilaf and california blend veggies.

HERB CRUSTED TILAPIA WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush a broiler pan with olive oil.
• Stir butter and garlic paste together in a bowl. Divide garlic mixture evenly between two bowls, reserving one bowl for serving.
• Stir garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt together in a bowl.
• Place tilapia fillets on prepared broiler pan; brush each fillet with garlic butter and sprinkle each with Italian seasoning mixture, reserving 1/2 the garlic butter in the bowl and 1/2 the Italian seasoning mixture.
• Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 2 minutes, brush again with garlic butter, and broil for 2 more minutes. Turn fillets over. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with remaining Italian seasoning mixture. Broil until tilapia fillets flake easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with reserved garlic butter and lemon juice.
