TILAPIA WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER



Tilapia With Garlic Lime Butter image

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.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 tilapia fillets (4-6 oz each)
4 tablespoons butter (do not substitute with margarine)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 cup lime juice

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.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Ginger-Lime Butter image

Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 1/2 pound) wild salmon fillet, such as king or coho, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 pound baby spinach
Lime wedges, for serving
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and white parts

Steps:

  • Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
  • Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
  • As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
  • Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming instead of frying.
  • Season the tilapia fillets generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to give the fish plenty of flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the fish from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat: This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out.
  • Flip the tilapia fillets halfway through cooking: This will ensure that the fish is cooked evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately: Tilapia is best served hot and fresh out of the skillet. You can garnish the fillets with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.

Conclusion:

This recipe for tilapia with garlic lime butter is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful garlic lime butter sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish that pairs well with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. It is also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious recipe, give this tilapia with garlic lime butter a try!
