Tilapia With Garlic Lime Butter

---

This recipe was somewhat of an accident for me. my mom had prepared some homemade garlic butter for some reason and i mistakenly used it instead of regular butter to saute some tilapia filets. i usually put lemon on my fish, but we were out, so i used lime juice instead. everyone really liked it, so i make it all the time now. even my very picky husband requests it! it's easy to adjust this recipe to feed more or less people.

Saute the tilapia until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork.
