As mentioned in my previous blog here is the recipe for Garlic Lemon Fish🐟🐟. As a seafood lover I just love this recipe. Not only that it is too easy to make. If you have fish fillets try this recipe you will love it😍. This is one simple recipe that is way tooooo delicious 😋😋. You can use any kind of fish fillet though the white ones are the best like tilapia, catfish, cod fish etc…You add garlic for an extra flvor.You can either sauté the garlic along with the butter and cilantro or you can add as such as I did, both ways taste good👌. Lemon gives a tangy taste to the fillets which can’t be missed 😊. You can bake or grill this till the fish flakes can be easily pulled apart with a fork. It is indeed a light but healthy meal 💪. Other than cilantro you can add more herbs if you want, the herbs compliment the flavor of the fish .When paired with mashed potatoes it becomes a complete meal 😃. Do give it a try. Okay then let’s get started.
