Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Use a spoon or brush to spread the marinade evenly.
Step 6
Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Place a lemon slice on each fillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
