Tilapia is the easiest and most effortless main course you can make. Taste how light and fluffy this fish becomes when it is embraced by the colorful flavors of garlic and butter.

ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal
salt and pepper
1 1/2 pound tilapia fillets, cut into serving sized portions

Garlic-Butter Sauce

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper, or to taste
4 drops hot pepper sauce, or to taste
chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

directions

Place the milk in a shallow dish. Place the cornmeal (seasoned with salt and pepper, as desired) in another shallow dish.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Dip the tilapia fillets first in the milk, turning to coat them completely. Next, dredge them in the cornmeal, pressing the cornmeal so it adheres.

Place the coated tilapia in the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until well browned. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm.

Combine the garlic, butter, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant. Spoon the garlic-butter sauce over the fish and serve immediately garnished with the parsley.

    DELICIOUS! I doubled the butter sauce so I could drizzle it over the steamed veggies I was serving alongside the tilapia. Excellent meal!
