- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
