Tilapia with Lemon Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

Tilapia Fillets

Sauce

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 table spoon of sugar

1 tbsp parsley

2 tbsp garlic powder

Double protons if making for a larger group. This size should be enough for one to three people.

For the fillets cook them as you desire. I personally add Italian herbs onto them while grilling for extra flavor. After all the fillets are made, start on the sauce.

Take the butter and simmer it on low heat in a frying pan on the stove. The butter needs to melt into a nice yellow color. Don't let it brown or it'll taste burnt.

Once the butter is ready, take it off the heat and add the flour. Afterwards whisk the two together thoroughly. At this point the sauce should have a noticeable thickness to it, add the herbs here. Whisk again until it is all mixed together, and then add the lemon juice. Whisk one final time and return to low heat to let it simmer and warm up.

The sauce can be made with alternative ways should the lemon be too tart for the cook. Some sugar can remove some of tartness or alternatively reduce the lemon to only a single table spoon.

For those who adore the taste of lemon try with two or two and a half table spoons of lemon juice.

End Price

The main ingredients which need to be as fresh as possible are the Fillets and Lemon juice so I'd say about ten to fifteen all around.

Fillets: $6.50 (2lb)

Lemon juice: $3.00

Garlic powder: $3.00

Lasting value

One meal maybe two.

Final comments: A nice sauce topping for many different kinds of meals to give them a spark of flavor. Works well with chicken as well.
