Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
Bake the fillets 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 optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
