Ingredients
- 2 6 oz. tilapia fillets
- 1 tsp dried tarragon
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 whole lemons
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Mix the tarragon, thyme, kosher salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
-
Slice one of the lemons into thin slices (with peel on) and set aside, carefully removing any seeds.
-
Cut the other lemon in half and squeeze onto the tilapia filets, coating them evenly with the lemon juice. Sprinkle the dried herb seasoning mixture over both sides of the tilapia.
-
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the tilapia to the hot skillet and cook on medium-high for 3-5 min or until golden brown. Flip the fish over and add another lemon juice squeeze from the halved lemon. Lay the lemon slices flat on the skillet and/or fish and then place the skillet into the oven until cooked through and flaky, approximately 3-5 min.

Serve fish with browned lemon slices as garnish.
