Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tilapia

    Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the tilapia.

  4. 4

    Bake the Tilapia

    Remove the marinated tilapia from the refrigerator and place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
