Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the parsley and thyme.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the tilapia fillets with the olive oil mixture and place them in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Pour the white wine around the fish in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and thyme evenly over the fillets.
Cut the lemon in half. Slice one half into thin rounds and place them on top of the fillets. Juice the other half and drizzle it over the fish.
Dot the fillets with small pats of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon per fillet) for added richness.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
