Lemon Garlic Tilapia

Here is another Pinterest find – sensing a trend here? I love Pinterest! I also love fish so a super easy fish recipe is a dream come true for me. My fiancé never really ate fish growing up so getting him to eat it makes me a little nervous when I try new recipes, but this one came out great and he loved it! He even asked for it specifically one time! I usually pair it with some rice and serve over a bed of fresh baby spinach. My fiancé prefers to have the broccoli over the spinach, but it is easily customizable!
 

What You’ll Need:
1 baking pan
small mixing bowl

Ingredients:
3-4 tilapia fillets (roughly about 4 oz. each — and I used frozen)
1 T. butter; melted
1/2 t. salt
1 T. minced garlic (or 1 clove garlic)
1 lemon; sliced
Broccoli or other frozen veggie (optional)
cooking spray






Instructions:

1. Lightly grease a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place defrosted tilapia filets evenly on the bottom of the pan.
3. In the small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt and garlic. Then pour this mixture over the tilapia filets.
4. Place lemon slices over tilapia filets.
5. If you are using veggies, place them around the tilapia before placing in the oven.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
