👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, basil, parsley, and lemon-pepper seasoning.

Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add tilapia fillets and increase heat to medium-high.

Cook tilapia until opaque and easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Adjust temperature if it browns too quickly.
