With just a handful of ingredients, you can prepare a healthy, delicious, and visually appealing dish that will impress your family and friends.
- When selecting tilapia, choose fillets that are firm and smell fresh—these are indicators of good quality and freshness.
- Marinate the tilapia for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish, but avoid marinating for too long to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
- Use fresh garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor—pre-minced garlic and bottled lemon juice can lack the freshness and vibrant taste of their fresh counterparts.
- Preheat your oven to ensure that the tilapia cooks evenly and achieves a nice, flaky texture.
- If you prefer a crispy finish, you can broil the tilapia for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent it from burning.
- Pair the tilapia with steamed vegetables or a fresh, green salad for a nutritious and balanced meal.
