Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170 g) tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g) sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 g) cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves (9 g) garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tbsp (4 g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (1 g) dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) paprika

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure an easy cleanup and to prevent the fish from sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and paprika until the mixture is fully integrated.
  3. Place the dried tilapia fillets on the prepared pan. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the garlic herb sauce generously over each fillet, using the back of the spoon to ensure every inch of the surface is covered.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 10–12 minutes until the fish transitions from translucent to opaque white and flakes easily with a fork.
