The final result was that she thought it was better than any tilapia she'd had in any restaurant and I have a new food to thoroughly enjoy!
I got the tilapia at Costco. You get 8-10 individually vacuum sealed and frozen fillets for about $15. They take about 10 minutes to defrost.
Ingredients:
- Butter cooking spray
- 4 (6 to 8-ounce) tilapia fillets
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 lime, finely grated zest and juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Warm cast iron pan then coat pan with a nonstick butter spray.
- Rinse fish and pat dry.
- On one side season each fillet with salt, cracked pepper then add to the pan and season other side first with the lime juice (so it doesn't wash off the seasonings) then with the salt, pepper and the lime zest. Place a pat of butter on each fillet and cook in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Enjoy!

lol.. gr8 minds think alike- I bought a bag of Tilapia fillets last weekend cuz they were on sale and cuz the fresh ones cost a fortune and I freeze them anyway.
If I may.. forget the salt and butter- use olive oil, 'No Salt' or plain powdered garlic, maybe a little cumin to play up the lime and dill (fresh is best).
I make fish 2x a week and even smokey loves it!
I buy them frozen in a bunch too at Pathmark when on sale for $9.99. Thanks for the recipe. I love it.
