Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.33 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, and arrange the tilapia fillets in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Top the fillets with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
