Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, the juice of half the lemon, minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over each of the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill evenly over the fillets.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin wedges or rounds and arrange them on top of or around the fillets for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
