    Lemon Herb Tilapia

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Fresh, bright, light...oh so yummy.  That's how I would describe this lemon herb tilapia dinner.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if you aren't a seafood fan you need to try tilapia.  It is so mild and so easy to prepare.  You'll be converted!

    Simple But Delicious

    The ingredients are so simple.  Here's the basics:

    • tilapia
    • garlic
    • dill
    • parsley
    • lemon
    • shallot

    A Quick Meal!

    I started out this recipe with a shallot, some dills, some parsley, and some garlic. Next, I seasoned my tilapia with salt and pepper and then coated it in flour.  I cooked it in a skillet with a little olive oil and then removed it and let it rest on a pan.  Then, I added a little more oil to my pan and did a quick saute of my shallot and garlic.  To finish, I added some chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and my herbs to the pan.  I finished it off with a little tab of butter and then added my tilapia back to the pan and heated thru.

    Simple Sides

    I served it up with some brown rice and broccoli - I was sure to spoon the pan sauce on top of my fish, rice, and broccoli - and then I devoured it. From start to finish this dish took me about 15 minutes.  You really can't beat that for a fast, healthy lunch or dinner!
