Because Tilapia has a very mild taste, it is the perfect fish to mix with a wide variety of
spices and flavors to create subtle or bold dishes to satisfy the most discriminating pallet.
Garlic and Lemon Baked Tilapia
Ingredients:
4 (4 ounce) Tilapia fillets
5 cloves of finely chopped garlic
5 Tablespoons of olive oil or 5 Tablespoon Italian Dressing
4 Tablespoons lemon juice
¼ Teaspoon salt
¼ Teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay a piece of aluminum foil in the bottom of a medium
sized baking pan and conform foil to the inside of pan leaving edges of foil spread out and
not tucked under. Grease aluminum foil with cooking spray or olive oil.

salt and pepper over a medium heat until tender - 2 minutes.
4. Pour hot sautéed mixture over top of fillets in baking pan.
5. Place another piece of aluminum foil over the fish in the baking pan and seal the edges
of the upper and lower pieces together until the fish are sealed within the foil.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve with rice or potatoes, coleslaw, hot garlic bread and chocolate brownies for dessert.
