Tilapia.....Make it a Star on your Plate!

Tilapia is a great fish with no flavor.  What?  I say this is a good thing due to the fact you can season it the way you want without compromising your plan.  I consider Tilapia the true chicken of the sea.  Sorry Tuna...but it's true.  Using Beer and butter make this dish so appealing to me.  Hops, malt, butter...It truly is a delight.  I always like to remind people....cook with what you drink.  If you don't drink a macro lite beer, do not cook with it!  Enjoy the recipe below!
