Lemon And Herb Tilapia Recipes

LEMON GARLIC TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Rinse tilapia fillets under cool water, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place fillets in baking dish. Pour lemon juice over fillets, then drizzle butter on top. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven until the fish is white and flakes when pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes.

HERB CRUSTED TILAPIA WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush a broiler pan with olive oil.
• Stir butter and garlic paste together in a bowl. Divide garlic mixture evenly between two bowls, reserving one bowl for serving.
• Stir garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt together in a bowl.
• Place tilapia fillets on prepared broiler pan; brush each fillet with garlic butter and sprinkle each with Italian seasoning mixture, reserving 1/2 the garlic butter in the bowl and 1/2 the Italian seasoning mixture.
• Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 2 minutes, brush again with garlic butter, and broil for 2 more minutes. Turn fillets over. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with remaining Italian seasoning mixture. Broil until tilapia fillets flake easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with reserved garlic butter and lemon juice.

BAKED LEMON BUTTER TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, garlic, lemon juice and lemon zest; set aside. Season tilapia with salt and pepper, to taste and place onto the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with butter mixture. Place into oven and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

HERB-COATED TILAPIA WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest from the lemon, then cut the lemon in quarters and set aside.
• Mix the herbs and lemon zest on a plate. Sprinkle the fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and coat both sides of each fillet with herbs, pressing them on so they adhere.
• In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Cook the tilapia until the flesh is opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side (cut into the thick part of a fillet to check). Serve the tilapia with the lemon quarters, for squeezing at the table. (Note: If you're serving this dish to company, you might want to cut wedges from a lemon that hasn't been zested.)

TILAPIA WITH A LEMON HERB BUTTER PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop herbs.
• Add salt and pepper to both sides of each tilapia fillet.
• Add flour to a plate.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet on medium-high heat.
• When the skillet is hot, dredge each tilapia fillet in flour and add to the skillet. Cook for three minutes on each side.
• Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and herbs to the skillet. Cook for five minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.
• Serve immediately.
