Not sure why this keeps surprising me, but it does. Thank God I like surprises!
Lime Baked Tilapia
Recipe from Bobby Deen
Prep time: 3 minutes Cook time: 8-12 minutes
Cooking spray
4-5 tilapia fillets
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of one lime
1-ish tbsp butter
1. Preheat oven to 375. Coat a large, oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
2. Lay the tilapia fillets in the skillet, making sure they don't overlap too much (if the skillet looks crowded, get a bigger pan). Season the fillets with salt, pepper, lime zest, and lime juice. Place a little bit of butter over each fillet.

| 5 fillets used up my freezer stash, so I filled up my biggest pan. |
 |
| I love where this is going already. |
3. Bake about 8-12 minutes until fish is cooked through.
 |
| Only manners would keep me from eating this right out of the pan. |
This dish is FABULOUS. It's light. It's refreshing. It has zip. And it's satisfying. Even my Picky Eater likes this dish!!
Not only do I love this recipe for it's simplicity, I also love how versatile it can be. Don't like tilapia? Use a different mild-tasting fish. Want to play around with different citrus fruits? Go for it! Or, better yet, try combining a few. I wonder how Lemon-Tangerine Tilapia would taste?
I'm not sure, but when I try it I'll be sure to let you know! ;)
