Serving Size: 4
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 Ounces (oz) tilapia fillets
- 0.25 Cup fresh lemon juice
- 2.5 Teaspoons (tsp) coriander, ground
- 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried parsley
- 1 Roma (plum) tomato, diced
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic, minced
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon zest
Steps
- In a bowl, combine the tilapia fillets, lemon juice, ground coriander, dried parsley, olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Toss until the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Arrange the marinated tilapia fillets in the prepared baking dish. Top each fillet with diced roma tomato, ensuring even distribution.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fillets. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to roast slightly and the fish to finish cooking.
- Serve the tilapia fillets hot, garnished with additional lemon zest and fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Lemon-Coriander Tilapia with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
