The easiest, most effortless 20 min meal ever from start to finish. And it's all created in a single pan. Win-win situation here.

Okay, guys. I figured many of us needed a bit of a chicken thigh break.

MY OTHER RECIPES

I clearly wish to create a new chicken thigh recipe once weekly but we had arrived due for something new. But still, we're keeping the fundamentals down while using whole lemon-garlic-butter situation.

Because to be honest. We don't wish to mess achievable combination.

So that is what's happening here. We're using budget-friendly tilapia, which cooks in mere 10 minutes, drizzled your butter sauce. It goes in the oven from start to finish, making your lifestyle just that less of a challenge.

You can thank me later.

This looks simple and easy , delicious, but I wouldn't use Tilapia because it is farm-raised.

It looks easily adaptable to wild caught filet of sole which will also cook quickly within the same time.

Omg, many thanks!

Made it for just a first home dinner with my boyfriend yesterday. When he saw the dish, he went Sorry, I don't eat fish. At all”, but consented to try it for me… Hahaha, apparently in the future he DOES eat fish, cuz he loved it a great deal that requested the second round after!

😀 And I'm so very happy with how fast and simple the whole thing is, thanks, you have made my night yesterday! 🙂

I get all of my recipes from the Internet. I will read 10 or 12, and try taking some bit because of this one slightly from any particular one. This would be the first recipe that I do it just like instructed. It was fantastic! I had two flounder fillets then one tilapia fillet and taking advantage of this recipe these were the best fish I've ever cooked! I usually avoid cooking fish because doing so never is released as good as I want. This recipe will be the bomb!! This is now my visit fish recipe!

P.S. re-decorating the first time I've ever said on a website for just a recipe I've made!

I ought to say, I've been looking for just a good baked lemon, garlic and butter recipe for any while and I thought I hadn't found an ideal one when I clicked the url to this recipe…. However, the image looks unlike the end result within the instructional video. I'm a little disappointed.

I want the original recipe for the image displayed, in case you could find it!!

This was damn delicious! Thank you for that inspiration! I did adjust my cooking time somewhat as you had suggested along with other as MY fillets were within the larger side but inside the end they been found deliciously flaky and moist. The butter sauce is flavour full and bang on!

We served ours more than a mound of sautéed spaghetti squash; sautéed with fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic and spicy calabrese olives! This paired quite beautifully with all the lemony butter sauce plus the delicate fish! YUM

Thanks again!

My stepdad is recuperating from a stroke and also the other night a healthcare facility served him lemon baked tilapia for his evening meal and the man loved it. I started looking for the similar recipe to ensure that once he's home I can allow it to become for him. According to Dad your photo looks probably the most like what they have to served him. Soon as he's home again, I'll try and fix this for him. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

On a side note, do you consider I could cook some shrimp within this recipe, I don't maintain fish, but I do enjoy shrimp.
