Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over each fillet, using the back of the spoon to spread the sauce and ensure the fish is completely coated.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
