Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fillets in a single layer in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, the juice of one lemon, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Pour the mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the fillets.
Cut the butter into small pieces and evenly distribute them over and around the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
While the fish is baking, chop the fresh parsley.
Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides such as steamed vegetables or a side salad.
