Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and use a brush or your hands to evenly coat both sides.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the fillets.
Finely chop the parsley and dill. Sprinkle the herbs over the fish for a fresh and aromatic flavor.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the fillets, then slice the remaining half into thin rounds for garnish.
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the reserved lemon slices.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
