Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia
The smoky bacon provides a savory saltiness to this light white fish, while a delicate lemon cram sauce balances it all out
- 4 6oz Tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
- 3 tbsp Golden Ghee (organic)
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 uncured center-cut bacon strips
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed lemon juice
-
Preheat the oven to 375F
-
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Brush the tilapia fillets with the ghee, then sprinkle them with the basil and a few grinds of pepper. Wrap three slices of bacon around each fillet and place the wrapped fillets, bacon seams down, on the sheet.
-
Bake the fillets until cooked through and flaky, 20 to 30 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of pepper. Serve this sauce in small ramekins alongside the fish for dipping.
