How to Make Baked Tilapia With Herb Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or basil. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Lay out 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Divide the following vegetables evenly among the foil sheets: 8 ounces cremini and button mushrooms (sliced), 1 cup snow peas (trimmed), 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery, 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
  5. Spoon 1 tablespoon of herb butter over each vegetable mixture. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Place 1 (6-ounce) tilapia fillet on top of each vegetable bed.
  7. Top each fillet with the remaining herb butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
  8. Bring the foil ends together, tightly folding and crimping to create sealed packets.
  9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Remove from oven and let stand for 2 minutes before carefully opening the foil packets.
  11. Serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over the fish and vegetables.
