Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the tilapia fillets.

  3. 3

    Cook

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if necessary, then place the marinated tilapia in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Remove the fish from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
