Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 stick salted butter (melted)
2 tbsp garlic (minced)
2 tbsp lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
4 6oz tilapia filets
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 lemon (thinly sliced)
3-4 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F and prep a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl and set aside.
Pat down the tilapia filets with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper (and crushed red pepper flakes (optional)) and place into the greased baking dish. Drizzle the lemon butter mixture over each tilapia filet.
Place the baking tray into the oven and bake the fish until it flakes easily, between 10-12 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and freshly chopped parsley
