Baked Lemon Tilapia

Tilapia is a very versatile fish and goes great with citrus flavors, especially lemon.  I bake it but at the end I put it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown it up a bit.  If you like Tilapia, you will definitely like this recipe.  This is also quite quick and easy.

Baked Lemon Tilapia

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets

6 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 2 lemons, plus some slices for garnish

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

In a measuring cup mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about a half hour so the flavors blend together.  Lay the fish fillets in a "broiler safe" baking dish and pour over the marinade.  Bake for about 20 minutes, or until fish is just about done.  Turn up heat to Broil and place under the broiler for a few minutes until slightly brown.  Don't leave it in too long as you don't want it to burn and dry up.

Enjoy!
