Baked Tilapia with Dill Sauce

I came across this highly rated tilapia recipe and just had to try it! And it was great, especially for a real simple and quick dish! I didn't make any adjustments to the recipe; it was great as is, although some people suggested pan frying the fillets which sounded good too (though I'm sure not as healthy as baking). And the dill sauce really makes the dish!

BAKED TILAPIA WITH DILL SAUCE

Ingredients:

• 4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning on both sides. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Place a layer of lemon slices over the fish fillets. The original submitter of the recipe suggests using about 2 slices on each piece so that it covers most of the surface of the fish.
3. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
   
4. While the fish is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Serve with tilapia. (Clara's note: I also squeezed a little lemon juice onto the fillets before serving.)
   

Yields: 4 servings
