Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Brush both sides of each tilapia fillet evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides of the fillets.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the fillets to coat them with fresh lemon juice. Reserve the other half for serving.
Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the tilapia from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges from the remaining half of the lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
