Because the site I found something like this this on has so much blather it was impossible to use. And mine is better.
Garlic Butter Tilapia
A tangy, rich garlicky fish
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia loins or fillets, thawed
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of one lemon
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 3 tablespoons capers
- kosher salt
- freshly-ground black pepper
- paprika, regular or smoked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ / 180℃
- Lightly oil a baking dish
- Liberally season the tilapia on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika
- In a measuring cup, melt the butter. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, dill, and capers. Using a fork, mash the capers lightly to make them less round so they won't roll off the fish so easily. Mix well.
- Pour over the tilapia, using the fork or a pastry brush to keep the capers and garlic on top of the fish.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Switch to 350℉ / 180℃ broil and broil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and check internal temperature. Should be 145℉ / 62℃. If not, bake for another few minutes until that temperature.
- Serve with lemon wedges. And maybe rice.
