Posted by Joe Cassady on

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets 

Cooking spray

1 lemon, quartered

2 tablespoons butter, softened

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon salt

 

Preparation

Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Coat both sides of fish with cooking spray; place in pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish on a serving platter; squeeze lemon quarters over fish.

Place butter and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Serve with fish.

 

Serves 4 (serving size: 1 fillet and about 2 teaspoons cilantro butter)
