Lighter Oven-Baked Tilapia
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Place the tilapia fillets in the bottom of the baking dish and season them with seafood seasoning. In a small bowl, melt the butter with the garlic in the microwave on medium for about 30 seconds; pour it over the fish. Put a slice or two of lemon on each fillet. Arrange the frozen mixed vegetables around the fish and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the vegetables are tender and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
