Broiled Lemon-Pepper Tilapia image

Tilapia fillets basted in a lemon-pepper and butter sauce broiled to flaky perfection!

Provided by JLeigh

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
½ cup salted butter, melted
⅛ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place fillets on the prepared pan. Stir parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning into the melted butter in a small bowl. Baste fillets with the butter mixture using a turkey baster, using the entire mixture. Sprinkle fillets with bread crumbs.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Remove fish from the pan and place it on a platter. Remove the foil very carefully from the pan, taking care not to spill the excess butter sauce, and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect sear on your tilapia fillets, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the fish. You should hear a sizzle when the fillets hit the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the fish. If you do, the fillets will steam instead of sear and you won't get that nice crispy crust.
  • If you don't have a lemon peppercorn sauce on hand, you can make your own by combining lemon juice, black peppercorns, and butter in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Tilapia with Lemon Peppercorn Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are seared until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the lemon peppercorn sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
