Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 fruit Lemon
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Cut two large pieces of foil, place a tilapia fillet on each, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, top with thin lemon slices, minced garlic, and parsley.

  3. 3

    Fold the foil over the fish and seal the edges to create a packet; place packets on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake for 12 minutes, then carefully open the packets to check that the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, optionally squeezing extra lemon juice over the fillet.
