Tilapia With Garlic Lime Butter
"This recipe was somewhat of an accident for me. My mom had prepared some homemade garlic butter for some reason and I mistakenly used it instead of regular butter to saute some Tilapia filets. I usually put lemon on my fish, but we were out, so I used lime juice instead. Everyone really liked it, so I make it all the time now. Even my very picky husband requests it! It's easy to adjust this recipe to feed more or less people."

This was between a four and a five. The lime juice adds a lot of flavor, and was delicious. I did add some pepper, but no salt. The lime juice seemed to take care of that. Because of the ease and speed of the recipe, I'll go with a five, Thanks for sharing! -
Yum! -
This was absolutely delicious! I managed to eat the first two pieces of fish before the rice was done! Bravo!!! =D -
This is an easy recipe that tastes great with jasmine rice (with a little soy sauce) and asparagus. I added kosher salt and ground black pepper to the fish as well. A keeper for my easy recipe nights.

I have always loved to cook. My Gramma used to let me help make everything when I was a little girl, so I've spent a lot of time in the kitchen. I've been diligently collecting tasty recipes so I can build up my own "family favorites" for my new husband. I work full time, so I don't have as much time as I'd like to be in the kitchen, but I get very excited whenever I have an extra afternoon to get messy in the kitchen!
