Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic to create the citrus marinade.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Pour the citrus marinade over the fillets, making sure each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle the orange zest, lemon zest, and lime zest over the top of the fillets for added fragrance and flavor.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once done, remove the tilapia from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve the tilapia immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or your favorite grains for a complete meal.
