Sometimes I want a nice meal without a ton of effort or wait time. Thankfully, I have this lemony, buttery fish that's super fast and totally tasty. —Ramona Parris, Canton, Georgia

Lemon-Butter Tilapia with Almonds

tilapia

salt

pepper

olive oil

butter, cubed

white wine or chicken broth

lemon juice

almonds

Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add fillets; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.

Add butter, wine and lemon juice to same pan; cook and stir until butter is melted. Serve with fish; sprinkle fish with almonds.

This is such a simple and delicious tilapia preparation.  I followed the recipe to a T the first few times I made it, but now I toast the sliced almonds before sprinkling them on the fish because toasting them really enhances their flavor and texture.  I also make sure to use a heady, oaky chardonnay when I prepare this recipe because I've found lighter wines get easily get overpowered by and lost to the lemon juice.  Delicious served with rice to help sop up all that delicious sauce.  Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe, Ramona!

The sauce is so good! This is my favorite way to have tilapia, with a few changes. I put the sauce ingredients, minus the oil and chicken broth, in a cast iron skillet. After the butter melts I add the tilapia to cook it.

<p>Quick to make and delicious! My picky ten year old gobbled it up!</p>

Loved this tilapia recipe.  Quick, easy and delicious.

So simple and easy,  delicious!  We will use this recipe again.

I was actually a bit disappointed with this recipe.  I baked my fish beforehand, but that wasn't the problem.  I really didn't think the sauce was very good.  I guess it just tasted too lemon-y and I barely tasted the butter and white wine.  I don't think I'll use this again.

This recipe is simple with simple ingredients and a taste treat every time I serve it.  It works as a light dinner on a warm evening or as part of a winter meal.  In the winter I may try using chopped walnuts for a heartier flavor.
