Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 whole Lemon
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Zest and juice one of the lemons. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds for later use.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the top of the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Place a few thin slices of lemon on top of each fillet for added flavor and visual appeal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
