Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Brush both sides of each tilapia fillet with the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half over the fillets and slice the other half into thin rounds. Place the lemon slices on top of the fillets for added flavor.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once baked, remove the tilapia from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 9
Serve the baked tilapia immediately with your favorite sides like rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
