  • •4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each)
  • •2 tablespoons olive oil
  • •2 lemons
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •½ teaspoon black pepper

  • •1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • •2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. 2Place tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. 3Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
  4. 4Slice one lemon and place slices on top of the fillets; squeeze juice from the second lemon over the fish.
  5. 5Bake for 12-15 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. 6Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
