Lemon Garlic Butter Baked Tilapia

Quick and tasty dinner in a flash? Right here, look no further! This is 10/10 all the way, so easy! More exclamation marks!!!! Seriously, it's excellent and I can't wait to make it again. The video is only for this recipe, but I highly recommend pairing this with the bacon wrapped asparagus in my next blog entry (pictured here with the tilapia). It is also very easy and quick, and bakes at same temp as the tilapia, so I put the asparagus on one rack and the tilapia on rack just above it (both in middle part of oven).
