I created this dish in my own kitchen when trying to come up with a tasteful, low-calorie dinner. It's delicious!

Provided by mollyjoy

Categories     Tilapia

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets, fresh
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
black pepper, to taste
1 bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Coat the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil.
  • Place the tilapia fillets in the pan.
  • Sprinkle desired amount of garlic salt, cajun seasoning, and pepper over tilapia pieces.
  • Press several sprigs of cilantro on top of each piece.
  • Bake tilapia for 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Enjoy alone or with lemon!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger and cilantro. Fresh herbs and spices provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger or cilantro, you can use dried, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooked tilapia will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately. Baked tilapia is best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it gently in a low oven.

Conclusion:

Ginger and cilantro baked tilapia is a healthy and flavorful dish that is easy to make. It is a great option for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
