Ingredients:
- 4 (6 oz / 170g) Tilapia fillets
- 3 tbsp (42g) Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves (15g) Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) Dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) Black pepper
- 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
Instructions:
- Rinse the tilapia fillets under cool water and pat them aggressively dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
- Lay lemon slices across the top of the fish to provide a flavor base and prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each fillet, using the back of the spoon to coat the entire surface.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
