It’s really amazing what some good, simple flavor can do for certain foods, especially when it comes to tilapia!

…
Ingredients:
2-4 tilapia filets
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp. Butter, melted
1 tsp. Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Red Chili powder (I used Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning)
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
1 Lemon, sliced
2 Tbsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped
Parmesan Cheese
…
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Prepare the tilapia by washing and patting dry with paper towel. Place on foil lined baking sheet.
2. Melt butter, then add in lemon juice, garlic, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. With marinating brush, evenly spread over filets.
3. Arrange lemon slices around tilapia.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley & parmesan

ENJOY!!!🍋🌶
