Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 2 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • ½ lemon, plus 2 lemon slices for garnish
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Tilt the pan to gather the butter, and spoon it over the fish. Repeat a few times, and remove the pan from the heat.

Method
 

  1. In a medium sauté pan over low heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the garlic, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Season both sides of the fish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Gently place the fillets in the pan, and cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges become opaque.
  4. Squeeze the half lemon over the fish.
  5. Flip the fish over, and cook on the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Serve the fish with a sprinkle of parsley and a slice of lemon.
