Tilapia with a lemon basil sauce
The delicate texture and flavor of Tilapia comes to life with the mix of fresh basil and lemon juice. Ingredients
- Tilapia fillets - 1 per person
- 3-6 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2 pinches ( as in with your fingers) of Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon chicken bullion powder
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4-5 cherry tomatoes sliced thin
Directions
- Melt the butter over a medium low heat (between 3 & 4 for those with numeric dials) in a small sauce pan, add all the dry ingredients and stir slowly, add the lemon juice. Add the sliced cherry tomatoes after the heat it off under the pot. Place the tilapia fillets into a container and coat with the sauce. Place lid onto container and place into fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place filets into baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Bake at 350 degrees for approx 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with Rice Pilaf and pour extra sauce over fish. Add a little fresh basil or fresh parsley for presentation.

This was really outstanding. I used fresh basil and Swai instead of Tilapia (because it was on sale). The Swai was really delicious. I doubled the recipe for 2 pounds of fish. I also skipped the marinating because I didn't have time and it still came out delicious. Thanks for sharing Kimi!
I had this tonight and it was fantastic. The combination of the basil and sliced cherry tomatoes, with the spiced sea salt, was just delicious!
