Tilapia With Garlic Butter Food

BAKED TILAPIA WITH GARLIC BUTTER RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mince the garlic into fine pieces. Place the garlic in a saucepan, add butter and dillweed or parsley. Add one dash of salt, one dash of pepper and one dash of paprika powder to the saucepan. The exact amount will depend on your own preferences. Heat the saucepan over low heat until the butter is fully melted and begins to simmer. Remove the saucepan from the heat and brush some of its content over the bottom of a baking dish. Put the tilapia fillets on top of the garlic butter mix. Use the remaining garlic butter mix to brush the top of each tilapia fillet. Place the baking dish in the oven and let the tilapia bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The baked tilapia with garlic butter is ready when it is easy to flake it with a fork.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon until combined; set aside.
• Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Layer the vegetables in the center of each piece of foil, starting with the mushrooms, then the celery and scallions. Dot the vegetables with some of the herb butter (use about half) and season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Lay the tilapia fillets over the vegetables; dot with the remaining herb butter. Sprinkle each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Bring the foil ends together, fold over and crimp closed on all sides to make sealed packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through but still moist, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the packets from the oven and let sit 2 minutes before opening. Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.
