A delightful and easy-to-make tilapia recipe with a zesty lemon butter sauce.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler is fully heated for even cooking.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and mix in the juice of the lemon.
Stir the mixture continuously to prevent the butter from burning.
Place the tilapia filets in a broiler-safe pan.
Arrange the filets in a single layer for even cooking.
Brush both sides of the tilapia with the lemon butter mixture.
Ensure the filets are well-coated for maximum flavor.
Broil the tilapia, turning occasionally and basting with the lemon butter mixture, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Keep a close eye on the fish to prevent overcooking.
Sprinkle the cooked tilapia with ground black pepper and Old Bay seasoning before serving.
Add the seasoning just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve the tilapia warm with your choice of sides, and enjoy your meal!
Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
