This recipe is super easy if you want something with little prep time. You can really use any fresh herb you'd like, I used basil this time around. I also made some garlic wild rice and orzo (out of the box) to accompany it. The herb butter was really awesome, so I made a bit extra and served in on a toasted baguette...it went fast.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, room temp
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (you can also use another herb, like tarragon)
- 2 cups sliced mushroom (use whatever kind you like, or mix)
- 2 stalks of celery, sliced
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced
- Salt & pepper ( I used white pepper)
- 4 Tilapia filets
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix the butter and basil together. I did this a few hours early so the basil would really flavor the butter well.
Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Put 1/4 of vegetables on each piece of foil, season, and top with a spoonful of butter.
Season filets on both sides with white pepper and salt. Place on filet on each vegetable bed. Top each filet with a spoonful of butter.
Fold each of the four pieces of foil into tightly sealed packets.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake 18-20 minutes.
You should probably wait a few minutes to unwrap the foil packets so you don't burn yourself. I just grabbed a dish towel and unwrapped them immediately.
