Tilapia is a great choice for a low carb diet or any healthy diet.

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • dash pepper
  • dash salt
  • pinch dried dillweed or parsley
  • dash paprika
  • 4 tilapia fillets

Preparation:

In saucepan, combine butter, garlic, pepper, salt, dillweed, and paprika. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and starts simmering. Remove from heat. Brush a little of the butter mixture in the bottom of a shallow baking dish (line baking dish with foil, if desired) then place tilapia fillets on the buttered area. Brush top of each tilapia fillet with the seasoned butter mixture. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes, until tilapia flakes easily with a fork.
Serves 2.

"I have tried this recipe twice this week tweeking it different each time. Try seasoning the fish to your liking, adding fresh diced onion and bell peppers over it after you brush the fish with the garlic butter sauce. It was absolutely delicious!"
