Ingredients
12 oz Tilapia2 TBS Smart Balance Light Margarine1 TBS minced garlic1.5 tsp Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic Seasoning1 tsp dried parsley2 TBS lemon juicesalt and pepper to taste
Directions
Rinse tilapia fillets and place in a shallow dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, evenly sprinkle lemon juice over top. Add garlic garlic and parsley seasonings.

In a small saucepan on the stove, melt the margarine and and add the minced garlic. Allow to simmer about 30-60 seconds and then pour over fillets. Cover and place in the refrigerator 20-30 minutes to allow the marinade to flavor the fish.

Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily. Use marinade to baste fish during grilling. (Works really well on a small indoor grill, be careful when flipping as the fish is generally very thin and can fall apart easily!)

Makes 4 3-oz fillets.

    I have made this several times. Tonight I used croppie instead of Tilapia. It was very good. This is a quick and simple way to prepare fish. Thanks for sharing - 2/15/13

    I used garlic salt and added a little olive oil. poured the mixture over my fish and put a little cayenne on the tops... fantastic flavor. baked it in a dish for 13 min and broiled for 3 min. Served over wild rice and steamed broccoli. The sauce is great on everything. - 12/2/08

    I made this with Salmon instead of Tilapia (I only had Salmon) and it was so very good! Thanks! I don't think I'll made fish any other way from now on. ;) Yummy! - 9/30/08
