Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly with space between each fillet.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush or spoon the marinade evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Top each fillet with a lemon slice for added flavor during baking.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, garnish the fillets with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Pair with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
