Lemon and Parsley Tilapia

This dish was really easy to make and tasted divine! The tilapia was so light, flaky, and filled with flavor. If you have never eaten a lot of fish or do not like a "fishy fish." Tilapia is perfect choice!

Lemon and Parsley Tilapia

1 small lemon

4 tablespoons soften butter

1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

3/4 teaspoon salt (I used less)

1/8  teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup chopped green onions with tops included

4 tilapia fillets  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Zest lemon and squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice (I used the juice of the entire lemon). In a bowl combine lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, parsley, salt, pepper, and chopped green onions.

Butter (I used olive oil) a 12x8 inch baking pan. Place fish in pan and pour the butter mixture over the fillets. Cook for 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
