Cooking fish for the first time can be a little intimidating; I’d probably been on my own a few years before I tried any sort of fish recipe. This garlic butter tilapia is an easy, flavorful recipe that can be used on a weeknight for a quick dinner or a special dinner. Tilapia is a very mild fish and not very fishy tasting.

Total time – 25 minutes (10 min Prep + 15 bake)

1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Melt butter in small sauce pan. Add garlic & sauté for 1-2 min on low.
3. Add white wine & 1 TBSP lemon juice. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
4. Spray pan with cooking spray & drizzle with lemon juice.
5. Arrange fish in pan. Sprinkle with Italian seasonings, add salt & pepper to taste. I prefer to use freshly ground pepper & coarse sea salt.
6. Drizzle garlic butter over fish & into the pan.
7. Bake 15 min or until done. As soon as you pull the fish out of the oven sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese.
8. Serve with brown rice and a vegetable.
