Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F/190-200°C). If using a grill pan indoors, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a large plate or baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 6

Place the fillets on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the fish releases easily from the grill and grill marks appear.

Step 7

Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be cautious not to overcook the tilapia.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled fillets to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
