Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Lightly dredge each fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Let it melt completely.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate them into the sauce.
Step 8
Return the cooked tilapia fillets to the skillet and spoon the garlic-lemon butter sauce over them. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Plate the tilapia fillets and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
