Tilapia With Garlic Lime Butter image

This recipe was somewhat of an accident for me. My mom had prepared some homemade garlic butter for some reason and I mistakenly used it instead of regular butter to saute some Tilapia filets. I usually put lemon on my fish, but we were out, so I used lime juice instead. Everyone really liked it, so I make it all the time now. Even my very picky husband requests it! It's easy to adjust this recipe to feed more or less people.

Time 17m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 tilapia fillets (4-6 oz each)
4 tablespoons butter (do not substitute with margarine)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 cup lime juice

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add tilapia fillets (thawed if frozen) to the pan.
  • Sprinkle the fish with garlic powder (use more or less depending on your tastes).
  • Pour lime juice over fish (use more or less depending on your tastes).
  • Saute the tilapia until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork (I usually turn once during cooking).
  • Serve while hot. I like to serve this with a side of rice pilaf and california blend veggies.
