An easy, straightforward and delicious Oven Baked Tilapia recipe that teaches you how to bake tilapia fillets in the oven!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh tilapia fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pat tilapia filets dry with clean paper towels.
- Season Fish: Place tilapia fillets on a baking sheet or baking dish lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, rubbing it all over the fillets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (feel free add other seasonings as well – creole seasoning works great).
- Bake Fish: Move the whole thing to the preheated oven to bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy right away – we love these with some steamed green beans and herbed potatoes OR you can cut up the fish fillets to make fish tacos!
Notes
- Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Internal temperature: tilapia is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. at the thickest part of the fillet (use an instant read thermometer to track the temp).
