tilapia fillets

🥗Healthier: cod fillets

💰Cheaper: pollock fillets

Cod is leaner, while pollock is often cheaper.

Line a baking sheet with foil and lay out the tilapia fillets.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 3 cloves of crushed garlic, whisking together.

Pour the sauce over the tilapia fillets, drizzling it right over the top.

Season the fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Tuck in some sliced pieces of lemon around the fish.

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes.

Check for doneness; the fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook it to avoid rubbery texture.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
