Ingredients
▢8 ounce tilapia fillets (250 g)
▢1 tablespoon lemon juice
▢3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
▢1 teaspoon minced garlic
▢½ teaspoon hot paprika (or Kashmiri red chili powder. Use regular paprika for non spicy.)
▢¼ teaspoon salt
▢½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
▢1 lemon (cut into thin slices)
▢1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Rinse 8 oz (250 g) of tilapia fillets with water and pat them dry using a paper towel.
Line the tilapia fillets on a 9×13-inch baking tray.
Note – if using frozen fillets, thaw them before using them.
Stir together lemon juice, butter, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
Pour the marinade evenly over the Tilapia fillets.
Arrange 3-4 slices of lemon over the fish.
Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is white, opaque, flaky and fork-tender.
Remove the tray from the oven and garnish the baked tilapia fish with pepper flakes, lemon slices, and chopped parsley (or cilantro), and serve hot.
