Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Line a baking dish with parchment paper
In a small bowl, mix parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade
Pat tilapia fillets dry with paper towels
Place fillets in the prepared baking dish
Evenly coat the marinade over the fish
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork
Squeeze additional lemon juice over the fillets before serving
Notes
Patting the fish dry ensures better flavor adherence and browning
Use fresh herbs and citrus for maximum flavor
Substitute cod or halibut for tilapia if preferred
