9.5 oz tilapia - thawed if frozen - should yield 7 oz (1 Lean)
1 clove garlic, sliced (1 Condiment)
2 tsp olive oil (2 Healthy Fats)
1/8 tsp seasoned salt or salt (1/2 Condiment)
1/8 tsp black pepper (1/4 Condiment)
2 tsp fresh lemon juice (1 Condiment)
1/8 tsp dried basil leaves (1/4 Condiment)
Instructions
Season tilapia with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Put fillets in oil and brown for 2 minutes. Add garlic slices to the oil. Continue cooking for 4 more minutes and then flip fillets.
Fry until cooked through and fish flakes easily with a fork. I cooked the fish for an additional 2 minutes, but it will depend on how thick your fillet is. Mine were thin.
The garlic should turn golden brown, but not be burned. If they begin to burn, spoon the garlic over the fish so they are no longer touching the pan. When cooked, drizzle the fish with lemon juice and sprinkle with basil or parsley.
