Tilapia with Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce

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.
