Baked tilapia

BAKED TILAPIA

Tilapia is, in my opinion, an easy fish to cook. It is a light fish. It works well with baking but not as hardy for frying as catfish is. That is my personal opinion.

Preheat oven to 350.

Lightly drizzle your tilapia with a little EVOO (olive oil). Make sure both sides of the fish are evenly coated. Sprinkle it with old bay seasoning, a little bit of dill, and some salt & pepper. Go easy on the salt when using the old bay. Squeeze some lemon juice over the top of the fish and into the pan. You can also put a couple pats of butter into the pan. Sprinkle the fish with some garlic powder being careful not to use too much. You want the flavor of the fish to come out and not be overpowered with all your other seasonings.

Place in oven and bake for appox. 15 – 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish. Test a piece for doneness before serving.

• Garnish with some fresh parsley and some fresh cut lemon slices or wedges. Serve immediately.
