Tilapia baked in the oven

"This is one of the easiest ways to prepare Tilapia in the oven, which does not require much effort or special cooking skills! You will feel like in a restaurant! Everything is super simple, does not require a lot of ingredients and a lot of preparation time. I cook it for 20 to 30 minutes - it depends on how much fish I have. If you are baking only for yourself, 15 minutes in a preheated oven is enough." - Indre, "Tasty & Easy".

Ingredients:

4 Tilapia fillets without bones and skin (non-fillets can also be used)
1.5 lemons - the amount depends on the size of the lemons - if large, one is enough
4-5 cloves of garlic (again, focus on the amount of fish for 1 Tilapia - 1 clove of garlic)
100-150 g of butter

Spices:

dried oregano
paprika powder (not smoked)
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

After baking, you can sprinkle with dill or parsley.

Preparing:

Coat the Tilapia fillets with paprika powder, don't be afraid to add a little more, they go well with this fish. Sprinkle the fish with salt - a little less is better, because if it lasts, you will be able to overeat while eating. Sprinkle with black pepper and dried oregano. Rub everything well with your hand and put it in the baking dish.
Squeeze the garlic, if you don't have a garlic press you can cut it into small pieces. Coat the fish evenly with the garlic.
Squeeze half a lemon - we will use the juice for the sauce. Melt the butter, mix it with lemon juice. Pour this sauce over the fish.
Place a few slices of lemon on top of the fish, but don't overdo it as the lemon juice is already in the sauce.
Bake in an oven heated to 180° degrees for 20-30 minutes, the baking time depends on how much fish you will bake.
Sprinkle the cooked fish with fresh chopped parsley or dill. Serve with rice.
Drizzle the butter and lemon juice over the baked fish.

Enjoy!
