Fish is a go to dinner at our house. It’s easy, requires very little prep and can be paired with almost any flavour you desire. I love that this dish is like a taste of summer any time of year. The recipe can be easily modified to include capers, tomatoes etc. to give it a real Mediterranean flavour.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small lemon
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions, with tops
- 4 tilapia fillets, about 6 ounces each, about 1 1/2 pounds total
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°. Zest lemon and squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice. In a small bowl, combine the peel and juice with the softened butter, parsley, salt, pepper, and green onions.
Butter a 12×8-inch baking dish. Place fillets in baking dish, folding thinner ends under as necessary. Top fillets with the butter mixture. Bake fillets for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
