Lemon Dill Tilapia

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
This is a very simple recipe I threw together one night recently.  I pulled out some ingredients from the fridge and put together this light and easy weeknight meal.  Tilapia is a popular and inexpensive fish and is mild in flavor, so it's important that you choose flavors that you like and that you want to stand out.  I love dill, lemon and garlic, so that's what I used here.

Bake at 425 for 10 to 15 minutes or until flakes easily with a fork
Top with a lemon slice and a sprig of dill
Spread about 1 teaspoon of the butter mixture onto each fillet
Combine butter, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
