Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly with space between each fillet.

Brush or spoon the marinade evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.

Top each fillet with a lemon slice for added flavor during baking.
Step 6
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
