Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are mushy or have a grayish tint.
  • Thaw frozen tilapia fillets properly. If you are using frozen tilapia fillets, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help the fillets to brown evenly.
  • Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the tilapia fillets.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fillets are cooked through when they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Baked tilapia in garlic and olive oil is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
