- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the oil mixture generously over the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the tilapia for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the fish to rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the roasted tilapia with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
