QUICK PAN-FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Begin by seasoning both sides of each filet and cutting the first lemon into slices to lay on top of each filet.
• Heat a pan large enough to fit 5 filets, adding half of the butter and half of the olive oil. Squeezing half a lemon over each side as it cooks.
• Once the first side has turned golden, turn over and cook on the other side. Add the remaining olive oil and butter.
• Add the lemon slices to each filet once they are almost done cooking, allowing them to sit until the slices soften slightly before removing from heat.
• Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetable for a simple and easy meal. I love to serve it with my Garlic Parmesan Asparagus for a tasty meal.
• Enjoy!
