Tilapia Scampi image

My husband and I love shrimp scampi. Since tilapia is usually cheaper than shrimp at the store, I concocted this easy recipe to enjoy the flavor of scampi at the price of tilapia!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¾ cup butter
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
8 cloves garlic, halved
4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 10-second increments until the butter is completely melted and the garlic has softened, stirring between each session, about 1 minute total.
  • Arrange the tilapia in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; pour the butter mixture over the fillets assuring they are all evenly covered. Sprinkle the parsley over the tilapia.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning the fillets every 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 40 minutes total.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tilapia scampi turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so good that I could drink it.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The fish was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

Easy and delicious! I used frozen tilapia and it turned out great. The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it with a spoon.
