Dinner 15 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off any excess.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia fillets in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Brush melted butter onto the tilapia fillets in the last minute before removing from the skillet.
  • Drizzle fillets with lemon juice and garnish with parsley and thyme.
