Tilapia Scampi

(4) 6 oz. filets Tilapia, rinsed and patted dry (any firm white fish could substitute)

½ stick Butter

2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

8 cloves Garlic, peeled and halved

1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic

1 Tbsp. Flat leaf Parsley, chopped fine

1 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon juice

¼ C. Dry White wine

Pinch red chili flake

Salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Warm Crusty Bread



Preheat oven to 400°F



Drizzle rimmed baking sheet with olive oil, place fish on top of oil and reserve in the refrigerator.

Heat medium pan over medium heat.  Add butter and melt.  Add garlic and poach for 5 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant, but be careful not to brown.  Increase heat and add wine, reduce volume by half, then add parsley, lemon juice, chili flake, salt and pepper.  Remove from heat and with slotted spoon remove garlic halves.  Remove fish from refrigerator and pour butter mixture over fish, sprinkle with minced garlic.  Place into oven and cook until fish turn translucent, about 15 minutes.  Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.  Plate, spooning butter sauce over fish.  Serve with bread so you're able to soak up the buttery sauce and enjoy!
