TILAPIA WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER
This recipe was somewhat of an accident for me. My mom had prepared some homemade garlic butter for some reason and I mistakenly used it instead of regular butter to saute some Tilapia filets. I usually put lemon on my fish, but we were out, so I used lime juice instead. Everyone really liked it, so I make it all the time now. Even my very picky husband requests it! It's easy to adjust this recipe to feed more or less people.

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.

Best Tilapias, Best Served:
- Start with fresh or thawed tilapia fillets. This recipe works best with tilapia fillets that have been thawed, but you can also use fresh fillets. If you are using fresh fillets, be sure to pat them dry before cooking.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe helps to infuse the tilapia with a delicious combination of flavors, including buttermilk, herbs, and spices. You can adjust the flavors of the marinade to suit your own taste.
- Cook the tilapia until it is just done. Tilapias that are overcooked tend to be tough and dry. To avoid this, cook the fish until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a form. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Baked tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted, steamed, or sautéed, or even with salads. The fish can also be served with a dipping or any kind of flavorful sauces of choice.
Conclusion:
- Baked tilapia is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for any occasion. This makes it a great choice for busy weeknight dinners or for casual gatherings with friends. Plus, it is also a healthy meal, so you can enjoy it guilt-free.
- The recipe above is just one of many ways to bake tilapia. Feel free to experiment with different marinades, seasonings, and sides to find a combination that you love.
