Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
Sprinkle both sides of each tilapia fillet with paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Using a spoon or pastry brush, evenly coat each fillet with the lemon mustard mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
