  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tilapia fillets
  • 2 Lemons (one juiced, one sliced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary), chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fish and arrange lemon slices on top.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overbake the tilapia; it should be moist and tender.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and herbs to your preference.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the tilapia for 30 minutes before baking.
