I’ve started cooking this Oven Baked Tilapia regularly as it’s such a healthy low-carb Keto option and everyone enjoys the buttery, garlicky taste. Tilapia is a white fish, high in protein and bursting with vitamins and minerals, so it’s the fish I buy most often to cook with.
This simple recipe, with only a few ingredients, produces a deliciously tender fish, swimming in tangy lemon, punchy garlic and a little kick of pepper. It’s quick to cook and while it’s in the oven you can make a big salad to go on the side for a great weeknight dinner.
To make the Oven Baked Tilapia, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Sprinkle the fillets of tilapia with the salt and pepper. Lay them on a lightly oiled baking.
Combine the garlic, lemon juice and zest, butter and red pepper flakes in a bowl and pour the marinade over the fish. Lay the lemon slices over and around the fillets.
Bake the fish in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it feels tender.
Serve immediately with the juices from the pan poured over.
This Oven Baked Tilapia is a quick and easy recipe to try if you haven’t cooked with tilapia before. If you have, you will be making this version regularly! Give it a try and I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments section.
Yummy yummy!
