- Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a shallow dish. Gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia fillets in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.
- Brush melted butter onto the tilapia fillets in the last minute before removing from the skillet.
- Drizzle fillets with lemon juice and garnish with parsley and thyme.
