Preparation
- Finely grate the zest from the lemon, then cut the lemon in quarters and set aside.
- Mix the herbs and lemon zest on a plate. Sprinkle the fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and coat both sides of each fillet with herbs, pressing them on so they adhere.
- In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Cook the tilapia until the flesh is opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side (cut into the thick part of a fillet to check). Serve the tilapia with the lemon quarters, for squeezing at the table. (Note: If you’re serving this dish to company, you might want to cut wedges from a lemon that hasn’t been zested.)

chefdnc | 05/12/2008This was excellent using a blend of fresh cilantro, lovage, parsley, and chives with the lemon.

Great for a work night - fast and very flavorful (which tilapia needs as it is a bland fish). My family really likes this one. A mix of cilantro and parsley is my favorite. I usually cook it in a mixture of olive oil and butter.
