Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 8 cloves garlic, halved
• 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
• 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice
• 0.75 cup butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine the butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 10-second increments until the butter is completely melted and the garlic has softened, stirring between each session, about 1 minute total.

Step 3

Arrange the tilapia in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; pour the butter mixture over the fillets assuring they are all evenly covered. Sprinkle the parsley over the tilapia.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven, turning the fillets every 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 40 minutes total.
