Tilapia is probably my all time favourite fish and we cook it a lot in my house. This is another way we love to eat tilapia. Everyone loves it every time!

Steps

8 - 10 minutes

1

First, pat dry the fish with a paper towel and then season on both sides. After, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to marinate.
2

After marinating, lightly coat the tilapia fillet in a single layer of flour.
3

Then, in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add in the butter. Let the butter melt and coat the pan.
4

Next, skin side down, add in the fish and immediately add in the lemon slices and garlic also. Lower the heat to medium low. Cook the fish for about 4 minutes and flip the lemon slices and garlic if they start to burn.
5

Flip the fish over to the other side after the 4 minutes and cook again for another 4 minutes. After flip the fish again and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on that side, reducing the heat if necessary.
6

After cooking, take the fish out of the pan and serve hot or warm with rice, potatoes, vegetables or sides of your choice. Enjoy!
