- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Zest the lemon and set aside. Then, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl, removing any seeds.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil evenly and place the tilapia fillets in a single layer.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice over the tilapia fillets.
Season the fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the tilapia fillets.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the foil during the last 2-3 minutes of baking to lightly brown the top if desired.
Serve the baked tilapia hot, garnished with additional lemon slices and parsley if desired.
