Talipia Al Ajillo - Lean and Green Recipes

By mommumma

Ingredients

• 9.5 oz tilapia - thawed if frozen - should yield 7 oz (1 Lean)
• 1 clove garlic, sliced (1 Condiment)
• 2 tsp olive oil (2 Healthy Fats)
• 1/8 tsp seasoned salt or salt (1/2 Condiment)
• 1/8 tsp black pepper (1/4 Condiment)
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice (1 Condiment)
• 1/8 tsp dried basil leaves (1/4 Condiment)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Season tilapia with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Put fillets in oil and brown for 2 minutes. Add garlic slices to the oil. Continue cooking for 4 more minutes and then flip fillets.

Fry until cooked through and fish flakes easily with a fork. I cooked the fish for an additional 2 minutes, but it will depend on how thick your fillet is. Mine were thin.
