• 1 lb. tilapia fillets
• Lemon juice as needed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Bring the court-bouillon to a boil.

While it’s heating sprinkle the fish with some lemon juice and then salt, pepper and paprika.

Place the fish in the steamer, add the herbs on top, cover, and steam three to five minutes or until done.

Spoon some of the remaining court-bouillon over the fish as a sauce.

If you have room in the same pan, are using stackable steamers, or in another steamer, place some broccoli sprinkled with lemon, lemon-pepper seasoning, and salt for a tasty no-fat side dish.
