When chatting with friends and family, conversation often naturally goes the direction of food. What to eat for dinner, eating healthier, cooking without so much stress, the list goes on. And a common topic of conversation also goes a little something like everyone thinking they should eat a little more fish. And then someone will say they don’t like fish. And someone else may say they don’t know how to cook fish. And usually, both of these things are common misconceptions! People that don’t like fish often just haven’t had it cooked properly, and something who doesn’t know how to cook it can easily learn how easy it is! This Baked Lemon Butter Tilapia is the perfect fish for both these people!! Light, flavorful, and easy to make, this Lemon Butter Tilapia might just become a new staple in your dinner time menu.
The first step is simply to make this lemon butter spread that goes on the fish. Let a little butter set out until softened and add the seasonings. I like to use the butter with canola oil for this, it’s just the right balance of oil to butter and makes it easy to spread on the tilapia.
The easiest, most effortless 20 min meal ever from start to finish. And it’s all made in a single pan. Win-win situation here.
So that’s exactly what’s happening here. We’re using budget-friendly tilapia, which cooks in just 10 minutes, drizzled with that butter sauce. It goes right in the oven from start to finish, making your life just that much easier.
