By á-1820

This is a light fish dish with a hint of seasoning that is not overpowering, but enough to give it delicious flavor.

Ingredients

• * 1 lb. tilapia
• * 4 Tbs. butter or margarine, softened
• * 1 tsp. dried basil
• * Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
• * Salt and pepper to season

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the butter and basil in a small bowl. Place fillets on a lightly greased broiler pan. Spread the fillets with half of the butter mixture. Broil 5- 8 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn and spread with remaining butter. Squeeze the lemon juice over fillets and broil another 4- 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
