Pan fried tilapia

Ingredients for quick pan-fried tilapia:

• 5 tilapia filets


• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper


• 2 teaspoons garlic salt


• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika


• 1 teaspoon dried basil


• 1 tablespoon butter

Heat a pan large enough to fit 5 filets, adding half of the butter and half of the olive oil. Squeezing half a lemon over each side as it cooks.

Once the first side has turned golden, turn over and cook on the other side. Add the remaining olive oil and butter.

Add the lemon slices to each filet once they are almost done cooking, allowing them to sit until the slices soften slightly before removing from heat.

Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetable for a simple and easy meal. I love to serve it with my Garlic Parmesan Asparagus for a tasty meal.
