Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170g) tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut four large squares of heavy-duty foil. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and place one tilapia fillet in the center of each square. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dried herbs. Spoon roughly 1 tablespoon of this mixture over each fillet, ensuring the garlic bits are evenly distributed.
  3. Fold the sides of the foil up and over the fish, pinching the edges tightly to create a sealed pouch. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the fish is flaky and translucent.
