Herbed Tilapia Recipe

This is a fast and easy summer dish. If you'd prefer, you can cook it on the grill instead of in the oven; just coat the fish with a little olive oil and butter, and clean/oil the grill.

Baked Tilapia Ingredients

6 Tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt

Herbed Tilapia Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season tilapia fillets on both sides with paprika, marjoram, red pepper, salt, and pepper.

Place the seasoned fillets in a single layer on a greased baking dish.

Sprinkle or spray lime juice over fillets.

Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes when prodded with a fork.
