Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each fillet generously with the olive oil and lemon mixture.
