Garlic Tilapia

Before having this meal, Chris wasn't a fan of tilapia. I'm not sure if that was because he had never had it before or because he prefers other fish instead, but either way, it was never something he wanted.

But one night, he didn't have a choice. I saw some tilapia on sale (that's one of the good things about it...it's always so cheap!) so I decided to pick some up and give it a try. If he wasn't a tilapia fan before, he definitely was after this meal!

It literally took 4 minutes to put together and then another 7 to cook. That's it! The flavors are simple, but the garlic tastes delicious after sitting under the broiler for a few minutes and the other spices really stand out. You can serve this with lemon, but I didn't even think it needed any additional flavor. Enjoy!
