We had some beautiful tilapia fillets, but no recipes!

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets: Fresh tilapia fillets are essential for this recipe. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, fresh smell.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia: Tilapia is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the fillets for just a few minutes per side, or until they are cooked through but still tender and flaky.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe helps to infuse the tilapia with flavor. Be sure to let the fillets marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can use any type of vegetables that you like, but some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and tomatoes.
  • Serve with a lemon wedge: A lemon wedge is a classic garnish for tilapia. It adds a bright, citrusy flavor that helps to balance out the richness of the fish.

Conclusion:

This baked Mediterranean tilapia recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The tilapia is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then roasted with vegetables until tender and flaky. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious. Serve this tilapia with a lemon wedge and your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
