Grilled Lemon Tilapia with Lemon Dill Butter

Thought I was out of my compound butter kick, didn't you?  Well, I thought I might have been too, but looks like I was wrong :)  And let's be honest..... what better way to make plain old tilapia deliciously decadent then by letting lemon dill butter melt ALL over it!!  Can't go wrong there.... :)  This would be great on any type of fish, actually.  And, if you aren't a fan of fish, but you like shrimp... oh, yes.. you'll want to try this on shrimp for sure :)

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 Tablespoons fresh or dried dill
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
pinch of salt
2 Tilapia filets
1/2 - 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
4 thin slices of lemon

Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, dill, zest and lemon juice until well combined.  Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.  Tear two large squares of aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Place two lemon slices on each sheet of foil and top with one tilapia filet.  Season the tilapia with lemon pepper seasoning.  Now, form a packet around the fish by bringing opposite sides of the foil together and folding together.  Fold remaining sides together, forming a packet.  Please the foil packets directly over the fire and grill for 6 minutes, rotate packet half way and continue grilling another 6-7 minutes.  Carefully remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.  Carefully open the packets and place the fish on a plate.  Scoop a tablespoon of the compound butter onto each pieces of fish and serve.  Enjoy!
