Directions:
-In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and melted butter with a dash of seasoned salt. Stir in the shallots, garlic, and capers.

-In a separate small bowl, mix together the seasoned salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Spice the fish fillets each on both sides.

-Place the fish fillets on a lightly-oiled large baking pan or dish. Cover with the buttery lime mixture you prepared earlier. Now arrange the green onion halves and lime slices on top.

-Bake in 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook.

-Remove the fish fillets from the oven and garnish with the chopped fresh dill. (Like I said previously, I forgot this step but it still tasted amazing so if you don't have it, it's okay).

Personal Notes:
DON'T skimp on the seasonings. It added a lot of needed flavor to a bland fish like Tilapia.

This AMAZING recipe paired well with roasted spaghetti squash and kale cooked with shallots, white wine, and reduced-sodium chicken broth. ENJOY!
