Pan-Seared Tilapia With Chile Lime Butter image

Nice, fresh-tasting dish that comes together in a snap. Make it even quicker by preparing the chile lime butter ahead of time. It can be made 1 day ahead, covered and chilled. Just make sure to bring to room temperature before using. I like this served atop jasmine rice. -adapted from Gourmet

My family loved this recipe! We thought the tilapia was moist and flavorful, and the chile-lime butter sauce was the perfect complement. It was also really easy to make, which is always a plus in my book.
