Broiled Tilapia with Butter-Lime Sauce and Capers

Broiled Tilapia with Butter-Lime Sauce and Capers

Ingredients:

• White Fish (I used Tilapia)
•  Dill
• Olive Oil
• Lime Juice (fresh squeezed)
• Butter
• White Pepper
• Salt
• Paprika
• Capers

Directions:
This is an easy dish for those busy days, 10 minutes tops. Place fish fillets on baking pan, spray with olive oil and sprinkle dill, salt, pepper, and paprika on top. Place fish under broiler for about 10-15 minutes. While fish is cooking place butter in pot with lime juice just until the butter melts. When fish is done top with butter-lime sauce and capers, then eat up. This goes great with sauteed french (green) beans.
