Tilapia with Lemon Butter
Total time: 15 minutes
Any nice filet of white fish would be good: walleye, sole, catfish, cod, snapper, for this simple dish. The Lemon Butter needs to be made at the last minute - but it's quick.
Ingredients:
- 2 nice fish fillets: tilapia, snapper, flounder, walleye, 4 if they are small, 350gr, 12.5oz tilapia fillets
- 1 tbs butter, 14.2gr, .5oz
- 1 tbs lemon juice, 15gr, .53oz
- 1/2 tsp Dijon-style mustard, 2.5gr, .09oz
- olive oil - 1/2 tsp
Instructions:
- Put fish fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
- Melt butter.
- Stir in 1 tbs lemon juice and mustard.
- Brush on fish. Bake fish for 12 - 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until fish is done. It should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Pour Lemon Butter over and serve.
Lemon Butter
- 1 tbs lemon juice, 15gr, .53oz
- 2 tbs white wine, 15gr, .53oz
- 2 tbs cold butter, 28.4gr, 1oz
- Heat lemon juice and white wine in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the butter, 1 tbs at a time. The butter should soften and the sauce get creamy. The butter is not supposed to melt and separate. But if it does, the flavor will be just as good....
