Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the ginger lime marinade evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Let the tilapia sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
