Garlic Lime Tilapia


Happy Thursday, everybody!  As my workweek winds down my life tends to get busier so I always try to have some basic ingredients on hand to throw a quick dinner together when I don't feel like cooking.  Tilapia is one of the things that is always in my freezer.  It's a very mild fish so you can do just about any kind of sauce on it and it will taste yummy.  It's also fast cooking.  So last week when I came home and wanted a quick dinner I pulled some tilapia out of my freezer and had dinner ready in 20 minutes.  How awesome is that?!

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets
2 cloves of garlic
1 lime
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

If your tilapia filets are frozen start by sticking them in the microwave to defrost.  While that's happening peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.  In a bowl mix the garlic with the oil and the zest and juice of the lime.  Place the tilapia filets on a baking sheet and pour the garlic lime sauce on top.  Cook under a broiler on high for 10-12 minutes until the fish is browned and flakes apart with a fork.


Now that you've seen mine, what's your go-to quick dinner?

  1. Looks so much better then just throwing the fish in the pan, cooking it, and reheating it for lunch!!! Thanks girl

    1. You're welcome! I love cooking fish under the broiler because you don't have to use butter or oil like you do on the stove!
