HUDSON'S BAKED TILAPIA WITH DILL SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning on both sides. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Place a layer of lemon slices over the fish fillets. I usually use about 2 slices on each piece so that it covers most of the surface of the fish.
- Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Serve with tilapia.

Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the tilapia fillets: This will help to keep the fillets intact and prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
- Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Serve the tilapia fillets with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad: This will help to create a well-rounded meal.
