Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 4 pieces Prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Lay a slice of prosciutto on a flat surface. Place one seasoned tilapia fillet at one end of the slice and gently roll the prosciutto around the fish, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. Repeat for all fillets.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the wrapped tilapia fillets on the sheet, seam side down.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the fish to prevent the prosciutto from drying out during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the prosciutto is crisp.
Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
