Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 small, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small, thinly sliced Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half onto the tilapia fillets. Slice the other half into thin rounds and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
Scatter the cherry tomato halves and thinly sliced red onion around the fillets on the baking sheet.
Place the lemon rounds on top of the fillets for added flavor and garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in color.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the fish and vegetables before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a side of steamed vegetables, Greek salad, or quinoa for a complete meal.
