Tilapia with Lemon and Dill

  • 3 fillets of tilapia 
  • 2 tsp olive oil 
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped 
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest 
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Combine the above ingredients in a large zip lock bag making sure to mix them thoroughly. Marinate for 2-4 hours. Only add the zest for marinating...don't add lemon juice until you are cooking the meal because the acid in the lemon will start to cook the fish.

  • 2-3 tsp butter 
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest 
  • Additional fresh dill for garnish

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray. 

Add the lemon juice to the fish in the bag. Combine ingredients well then pour into baking dish; season the fish well with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper then add bits of butter to the top of the fillets.
