Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Tilapia - 30 min. ONE sheet pan. Done and done. With the butteriest, flakiest fish ever! With roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes.

I think it’s safe to say my birthday week has come to a halt.

After an entire sheet cake and 4971 mini donuts, I don’t think I can celebrate another day.

So I’ll be here, stuffing my face with this.

No wait.

I’ll be stuffing my face with that lemon butter sauce.

No need for fish or veggies.

I don’t care that it’s on the same sheet pan.

Just that butter sauce for me.

K, thanks.
