Easy Baked Tilapia Recipe
Description
In this recipe, tilapia fillets are prepared by placing them on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Each fillet is sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning to provide a citrus-pepper flavor without overpowering the mild fish. Baking at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes allows the fish to cook through and become flaky.
The simple seasoning highlights the natural taste of tilapia, complemented by the bright, slightly tangy notes of lemon pepper. The baked method avoids frying, producing a light yet satisfying texture. The thin fillets cook evenly for a tender interior.
This dish can be served as a quick protein addition to meals or paired with vegetables and grains. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for three to four days.
