Baked Fish

BAKED SALMON
1 pound salmon or other fish fillet, thawed if frozen
2-4 tablespoons butter, softened
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Place the fish in a greased baking dish. I line mine with heavy foil for easy clean up. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dot with soft butter and spread over the surface of fish. Bake at 425º for 6-12 minutes, or until the thickest part of the salmon is just done. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish so start with the minimum time and check frequently to prevent over-cooking. If desired, put the fish under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top.

BAKED TILAPIA 
1 pound tilapia fillets, thawed if frozen
Garlic powder
Spicy Seasoning Salt
Salt and pepper, to taste
3-4 tablespoons butter, melted
Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty foil to save on clean-up and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the fish in a single layer on the baking sheet. Season the fish on both sides with the seasonings listed. Pour the melted butter over the fillets. Bake at 425º about 8-10 minutes, just until opaque. Do not overcook. Serve with the browned buttery pan juices.
