Method
Stuffed Tilapia Directions

Prepare the Tilapia
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them on a greased baking dish.

Stuff the Fillets
Take a generous amount of the filling and place it on one side of each tilapia fillet. Fold the other side over the filling, making sure to secure it gently.

Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the stuffed tilapia fillets. This will help to keep them moist while baking.

Bake the Tilapia
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve
Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon slices if desired.
