[quote=Anonymous]Basil Baked Tilapia

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 4 tilapia fillets
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
• Paprika (to taste)
• Salt and pepper (to taste) 
Instructions
• Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Melt the butter and wine: In a microwave-safe cup, combine the white wine and butter. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is melted.
• Prepare the baking dish: Spread most of the basil leaves on the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, reserving a few large leaves for later.
• Place the fish: Lay the tilapia fillets over the basil leaves in the baking dish.
• Create the lemon-wine mixture: Add the lemon juice to the melted butter and wine mixture and whisk to combine.
• Season the fish: Pour the lemon-wine mixture over the tilapia fillets. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
• Add the breadcrumbs and paprika: Sprinkle the onion powder and breadcrumbs evenly over the fish. Add a dash of paprika for color and flavor. Top with the reserved basil leaves.
• Bake the fish: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
• Finish baking: Uncover the fish and continue to bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
• Serve immediately: Serve the basil baked tilapia while it is still warm, perhaps alongside fresh vegetables or your preferred side dish.
