Quick Cooked Tilapia Fillets for 4

Instructions:

1. Use paper towels to pat every fillet bone-dry on both sides.
2. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the fillets, pressing the seasoning gently into the flesh.
3. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
4. Carefully place fillets in the pan and leave untouched for 3–4 minutes until a mahogany crust develops and they release easily from the pan.
5. Gently flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes.
6. Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan.
7. Tilt the pan and spoon the bubbling garlic butter over the fillets for 1–2 minutes.
8. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets and garnish with parsley. Remove from heat immediately.
