Pan-Seared Tilapia with Jalepeno Lemon Butter

I have really come to love Tilapia. It is so easy to make and adapts the taste of whatever you cook it in. I absolutely love to have citrus, spice and butter. Because I am not a big meat eater, I was so suprised at how much I love this fish. I would have been happy eating the entire platter. The entire family gobbled it down. I am keeping this one on file for a quick yummy meal. I will update this post eventually with a good picture of the final product. I got distracted with how good it was and didn't take a picture.
