Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Ounces (oz) tilapia fillets
• 4 Cloves garlic, minced
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Medium onion, sliced
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Lemon, sliced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, torn

Steps

1. Marinate the Fish: Rub the tilapia fillets with minced garlic and place them in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Layer the sliced onion over the fish. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the marinated fish, along with the marinade, to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
4. Bake the Fish: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness at 15 minutes. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. For a golden finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh torn parsley and serve with lemon slices on the side for an added burst of freshness.
