Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 20 ounces tilapia fresh or frozen; thawed, fillets
  • 2 cups cherry tomato
  • 8 ounces broccolini
  • kosher salt season to taste
  • black pepper season to taste, kosher
  • 1 lemon sliced into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons parsley minced, fresh

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and place a rack on the top. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl combine the oil with garlic and Italian seasoning. Place the fish fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
  3. Next to the tilapia, add the cherry tomatoes and broccolini in a single layer. Baste everything with the garlic-oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flaky.
  5. Serve with lemon slices and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Instead of tilapia, use other fish or seafood like salmon, catfish, cod, or shrimp. You can use chicken for this recipe, too, since lemon and garlic are perfect for it.
  • Replace the lemon with a lime for different fresh citrus flavors.
  • Use any kind of vegetables for the sheet pan dinner. Options for veggies include root vegetables, cauliflower, squash, mushrooms, asparagus, and more.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for four days. Reheat the fish in the microwave, on the stovetop, or air fryer.
  • Add some heat to this easy-baked tilapia recipe by sprinkling different spices such as paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and other types on the fish.
  • Serve oven-baked tilapia with fresh salsa like avocado salsa, mango salsa, pineapple salsa, and more.
  • Make baked tilapia tacos by serving the baked tilapia in tortillas with fresh ingredients like cilantro, corn, avocado, jalapeño, tomatoes, etc.
