Description
My husband and I love shrimp scampi. Since tilapia is usually cheaper than shrimp at the store, I concocted this easy recipe to enjoy the flavor of scampi at the price of tilapia!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
- 8 cloves garlic, halved
- 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine the butter
- lemon juice
- and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 10-second increments until the butter is completely melted and the garlic has softened
- stirring between each session
- about 1 minute total.
- Arrange the tilapia in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; pour the butter mixture over the fillets assuring they are all evenly covered. Sprinkle the parsley over the tilapia.
- Bake in the preheated oven
- turning the fillets every 10 minutes
- until the fish flakes easily with a fork
- about 40 minutes total.
