Creating Creamy Lemon Garlic Herb Tilapia is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Pan: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Add Cream and Lemon: Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Season the Sauce: Add the dried thyme and oregano. Stir well and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Return the cooked tilapia to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the fish. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
7. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
