Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Use a spoon or brush to spread the marinade evenly.
Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Place a lemon slice on each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
