Fish Fillets w/Cilantro Butter

Cooking Light recipe that hits the spot for fast, easy and tasty on a warm night.

Any mild white fish such as cod, flounder, or orange roughy would also be delicious in place of tilapia. Serve these brightly flavored fillets with sautéed spinach or a green salad

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 2 teaspoons cilantro butter)

Ingredients

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
• Cooking spray
• 1 lemon, quartered
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Coat both sides of fish with cooking spray; place in pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish on a serving platter; squeeze lemon quarters over fish.

Place butter and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Serve with fish.
