Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towels. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a marinade.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the tilapia fillets generously with the marinade and let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil to the pan (optional for extra crispiness).
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, place the tilapia fillets carefully into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 6
Flip the fillets gently and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the tilapia from the skillet and plate immediately. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve the tilapia warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.
