It's finally spring, and that means that I typically feel like eating lighter. Fish is perfect for that, but I was in desperate need of some new ways to fix tilapia, my go-to choice for a super fast weeknight meal. I was so excited when I found this recipe on Desiree's blog.
I was assigned to SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl for this month's Secret Recipe Club, and there was lots to choose from - but I kept coming back to this tilapia. And it did not disappoint. This took 10 minutes flat to make - just enough time to steam some broccoli for a great accompaniment. Faster than a frozen pizza, and way better, both nutritionally and taste-wise, I hope you try this great recipe soon!
Start by rinsing the fish and then patting it dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder,
then place fish in a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 9-13 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, place the cream cheese, lemon juice and dill
in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave on 50% power for about 30 seconds and then whisk until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Serve over fish.

Baked Tilapia with Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce
2 - 6 oz. tilapia filets
salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste
2 Tbsp. cream cheese (low fat is ok)
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried dill weed
Rinse the fish and pat dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place fish in a lightly greased baking dish and bake at 425 for 9-13 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (Baking time will depend on the thickness of your fish filets.)
While the fish is baking, place the cream cheese, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave on 50% power for about 30 seconds and then whisk until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve over fish. Makes 2 servings.
Glad you enjoyed this recipe! This was in my earlier days of blogging so I really need to make it again! :)
