Butter-garlic fish

Light summer dinner

Our apartment is in the top of the building and has no air conditioner. After arriving Canada in the end of May, I've been through one heat wave and two really hot weeks. During the heat wave week, we watched two movies and ate salad most of nights. It's too hot to eat anything! I was surprised it could be this hot in Canada since I always thought Canada is a cold cold country and when Canadian told me it's hot, I just assumed they have no clue of what hot weather really is.

While the weather is warm but not hot, and you feel like something lighter but still want a taste of protein. Then this dish could be a good choice for you.
And it's really easy to make since fish doesn't take long to be de-frozed or cooked.

Ingredients you'll need:
Recipe is referred to Gina's recipe
  • 6 -6 oz tilapia filets
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tsp fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper
  • cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400°.
Melt butter on a low flame in a small sauce pan. Add garlic and saute on low for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and shut off flame.
Spray the bottom of a baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Place the fish on top and season with salt and pepper. Pour the lemon butter mixture on the fish and top with fresh parsley.
Bake at 400° until cooked, about 15 minutes.
