  • Mix the tarragon, thyme, kosher salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  • Slice one of the lemons into thin slices (with peel on) and set aside, carefully removing any seeds.
  • Cut the other lemon in half and squeeze onto the tilapia filets, coating them evenly with the lemon juice. Sprinkle the dried herb seasoning mixture over both sides of the tilapia.
