Lemon Caper Tilapia

We eat a lot of tilapia-mostly because we love fish and it's cheap (let's be honest). I find myself running out of ways to make it interesting though, so I've had a hard time getting excited about it lately. But, I tried this recipe tonight from the Taste of Home website, and it is definitely a keeper. Make a few veggies and throw together a salad and you are done! Easy and delicious!

 

Ingredients

 

• 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

• Place tilapia in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt; pour over the fillets. Sprinkle with capers, oregano and paprika.
• Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes.
• Top with a squeeze of lemon juice

 

Oven Salmon

Tonight I wanted something healthy, quick, and easy for dinner. I also had some salmon that needed to be used. So, here's what I did:

• On a piece of foil, I layered salmon, spray butter, lemon slices, salt/pepper, and a dash of white wine.
• I wrapped the foil up to make a little pouch and baked for 30 minutes at 325 degrees
• Unwrap the foil and it's ready to go!

Under the lemon slices the butter and wine make a little sauce that's creamy and yummy!

Here's the finished product.
