Scale
- 30g (2 tbsp) butter, plus extra to grease
- 2 whole tilapia, cleaned and de-scaled
- 60ml (4 tbsp) mixed herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C/400°F/gas 6).
- Line a roasting tin large enough to hold the fish with a lightly buttered sheet of foil.
- Rub the fish inside and out with salt and pepper and put in the foil-lined tin.
- Mix the butter and herbs then spread half the butter mixture inside each fish.
- Cover the tilapia with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the thickest part flakes easily when tested with a knife.
- Carefully lift the fish on to a board and peel away the skin from the upper surface, the turn it around and remove the skin from the other side. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with a crispy salad and a jacket potato.
- In this case I used just tarragon but you can use the following herbs too: chervil, thyme, oregano and parsley.
