Baked Lemon Tilapia

Written By Kristi Cavinder

Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pieces of Tilapia

  • 2 large lemons (1 for juicing + zesting, 1 for slices)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 3 garlic cloves

  • Fresh parsley

  • Salt + pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven 425º + lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, juice from 1 lemon, zest from 1 lemon, and crushed garlic.

  3. Season the tilapia with salt + pepper and place in the oiled baking dish. Add the lemon slices over the fish.

  4. Drizzle the sauce over everything.

  5. Place in oven for 10-12 minutes. I prefer 10 minutes so it’s perfectly tender and falling apart.

  6. Garnish with chopped parsley & serve with your favorite vegetable and rice

A simple, protein-packed dinner made with flaky tilapia, fresh lemon, garlic, butter, and parsley. Light, flavorful, and easy to pair with your favorite veggie or starch for a balanced meal.
