Wondering what Tilapia Internal Temp is best? Measuring the internal temp of tilapia helps ensure perfectly cooked fish while ensuring harmful bacteria have been eliminated.

Ingredients
- 4 tilapia 6 ounces each, fillets
- 3 tablespoons butter melted (unsalted recommended)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic or garlic powder, minced
- 2 prigs thyme optional, or oregano, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, placing the oven rack in the upper middle position. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment and set aside.
- Pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towel and place in the prepare pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and optional herbs.
- Brush the tilapia evenly with the butter mixture until fully coated.
- Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes. After 8 minutes, check the internal temp of tilapia by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. You can remove it from oven with a reading of 140°F (60°C) for a final temp of 145°F upon serving.
Notes
- If you don’t have a thermometer, the tilapia should be translucent going on opaque and flake easily when ready. Note this method is less accurate than measuring internal temp.
