Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, the juice of half the lemon, minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over each of the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill evenly over the fillets.
Step 6
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin wedges or rounds and arrange them on top of or around the fillets for added flavor.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
