Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the fillets for added flavor and a decorative touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
