How to Store the Low-Carb Grilled Tilapia with Lemon Butter
To store low-carb grilled tilapia with lemon butter, you should follow these simple steps:
- Let the grilled tilapia cool to room temperature before storing it. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the container.
- Transfer the grilled tilapia to an airtight container with a lid. Glass or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids work well for this purpose.
- Pour any remaining lemon butter over the grilled tilapia into the container.
- Seal the container tightly and label it with the date of preparation.
- Store the container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- When ready to eat the leftovers, you can reheat the tilapia in the microwave or oven. To reheat in the microwave, place the fish on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and microwave it on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated.
- To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), place the tilapia in an oven-safe dish, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated.
