Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Season the tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    Add the seasoned tilapia fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Sauce

    Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the tilapia to the skillet, spoon the lemon sauce over the fish, and cook for an additional minute. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
