Quick Baked Tilapia With Grapefruit Dill Butter - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons fresh ruby red grapefruit juice (I just buy a small grapefruit ... eat one half for breakfast and squeeze the other, a white grapefru)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 grapefruits, slices (add them to the oven as you bake the fish, a slice on each fillet adds a nice presentation)
Preparation
-
Butter -- mix the grapefruit juice, butter, dill, salt and pepper.
After a recent review, I realized that I use ruby red grapefruits for everything, but it reminded me that not everyone has ruby reds. And for me, I love grapefruit but for those who don't, the option of adding a teaspoon of honey to the juice, butter and dill will give a bit of sweetness to the dish. I did that once for some friends who were a bit more \"less\" of a grapefruit fan.
Fish -- Spray a parchment lined or foil lined pan with pam. Then add your fish fillets and brush well with the grapefruit butter. Cook on the middle rack 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. I baste with the butter 2 times during the baking process.
That's it. Easy simple and big flavor. You can serve a little dollop on top right at the end of cooking if you want along with the baked grapefruit slice.
