Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
Zest the lemon, then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon over the tilapia fillets. Slice the other half into thin rounds and reserve for later.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and combine them in a small bowl with the olive oil, lemon zest, chopped leaves from the rosemary sprigs, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 5
Brush the marinade generously over the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Place the reserved lemon slices on top of the fillets for added flavor and garnish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is flaky and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
