1
Prepare the Tilapia
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture.
2
Marinate the Fish
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme. Whisk until well blended. Add the tilapia fillets to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3
Preheat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
4
Cook the Fish
Carefully place the marinated tilapia fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious tilapia fish!
