Garlicky Lemon Baked Tilapia

Kayla Castle • Jan 25, 2022

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a big fish fan. However, this recipe has changed me! Tilapia doesn’t have that strong fish smell and absorbs the marinade flavor very well. Tilapia is rich in selenium, potassium, niacin, B12, and phosphorus. Besides not having a strong fish smell, tilapia is inexpensive compared to other fish and full of minerals and vitamins. 

A concern about tilapia is farming practices used in sourcing. Look for certified tilapia and that it is sourced from the US, Canada, Peru, and the Netherlands

Recipe 

Ingredients: 

  • 2- medium tilapia fillets
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ lemon, sliced
  • 1 ½ tablespoon plant sterol
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used buffalo hot sauce) 
  • ½ teaspoon dried cilantro
  • Salt & pepper to taste



Method:

1.)   Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. 

2.)   Rinse tilapia and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice tilapia into 2 pieces each and place spread out on parchment paper. 

3.)   In a small saucepan melt the plant sterol over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook till fragment. Next add in the lemon juice, hot sauce and remaining spices. Cook for another minute stirring frequently. 

4.)   Drizzle contents over tilapia and arrange lemon slices on pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes till done and fish is flaky. Enjoy!
