I am always trying to put more fish on the menu but neither of us like anything too strong a fish in taste. When I went to the supermarket they didn't have tilapia and I bought cod instead, so...
even though I am leaving Tilapia in the ingredient list, cod was a perfect substitute.
Garlic and Herb Seasoned Tilapia found at the McCormick website here.
Enough for 4 servings.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons McCormick Perfect Pinch Salt Free Garlic and Herb Seasoning
1 teaspoon McCormick Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Black Pepper, ground
1 pound Tilapia fillets
Mix butter, lemon juice, seasoning, onion powder and pepper in a small bowl until well blended.
Place fish on broiler pan. Brush butter mixture over fish.
Broil 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Test Kitchen Tip: you can also substitute red snapper, striped bass, flounder or sole for the tilapia.
End result: a very tasty dish. We were both surprised how much we enjoyed this recipe. I used whatever I had in the pantry, same ingredients but not always the McCormick brand.
I had a stick of Kerrygold Garlic and Herb butter used in another recipe. It is sold in one-stick (1/2 cup) portions. I substituted this for the melted butter mix.
I also enjoyed the fact that this was an easy meal from prep to table, and fast. I came home from the store and just over half an hour later, was sitting down to dinner. Goes great with a green salad or an assortment of roasted colorful veggies. Asparagus would be nice, or any favorite of yours.
I served it with wedges of lemon and the juice squeezed over the fish gave it a nice zing.
