Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over each fillet, using the back of the spoon to spread the sauce and ensure the fish is completely coated.
Step 6
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
