Tilapia with Cilantro Butter


  • I've never been a fan of fish or seafood of any kind. However, as we've begun to try and eat healthier, I keep hearing about all the benefits of eating fish... So I set out in search of a few good fish recipes that the kids and I might be able to swallow. This recipe from Cooking Light was one of the first recipes I tried and we've had it several times already! It's actually good!
  • Ingredients
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Directions
  • Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Coat both sides of fish with cooking spray; place in pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish on a serving platter; squeeze lemon quarters over fish.
    Place butter and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Serve with fish.
