- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the zest and juice of one lemon, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine the marinade.

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets, distributing evenly for added flavor and color.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
