Instructions

1. Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
2. Mix the 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder and paprika in a small bowl, then rub the seasoning evenly over both sides of the fish.
3. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron or other skillet over medium heat. If using a smaller skillet, use only 1 tablespoon oil and cook 2 fillets at a time.
4. Add the fillets and cook 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Move the fish to a serving platter.
6. Melt the butter in a light-coloured skillet over medium heat and keep cooking until it turns light brown.
7. Lower the heat to low, add the grated garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
8. Take the skillet off the heat, then stir in the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
9. Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve warm.
