Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
- Grease the pan with your butter, then melt the remaining butter.
- Juice and zest the lemon.
- Rinse the tilapia fillets under cool water and then pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the tilapia fillets into the buttered baking dish.
- Mix the lemon juice, butter and garlic together, then drizzle over the fish fillets.
- Sprinkle the fillets with pepper and parsley.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. The fish is done when it turns a solid white and flakes easily when pulled apart with a fork.
- Serve.
Notes
- I had very large and thick tilapia fillets so mine took 25 minutes to bake. Fish is done when it reaches 145°F.
- The nutrition includes ALL of the butter sauce which you don't eat, so values will be less
