Ingredients:
- 8 oz Tilapia fillets
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 lemon slice, thin
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
3. Place the tilapia fillets in a single layer in the baking dish.
4. In a small bowl, add olive oil, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
5. Stir to combine.
6. Drizzle the lemon garlic sauce evenly over the tilapia fillets, making sure they are well-coated.
7. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of the fillets for extra flavor and garnish.
8. Sprinkle the fillets with freshly chopped parsley.
9. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as tilapia cooks quickly.
