- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh parsley. Set aside.
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl and slice the other half into thin rounds.
In the small bowl with the lemon juice, add olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until combined.
Place the tilapia fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the lemon garlic mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each fillet is coated.
Sprinkle paprika over the top of the tilapia fillets for added color and flavor.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the baked tilapia hot, garnished with any leftover parsley if desired.
