Easy Baked Tilapia Recipe

I must say, this is the most delicious fish dish I've ever tasted! Without following exact measurements, I started by using extra virgin olive oil as the base. To that, I added a blend of old bay seasoning, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and dried parsley flakes. I generously brushed this mixture onto my tilapia fillets, topped each one with a lemon slice, and drizzled fresh lemon juice over them before baking covered at 350°F for 25 minutes. Absolutely divine!

This recipe is delightfully simple and yields fantastic results! I would rate it 4.5 stars. I suggest making two adjustments to enhance the dish: 1. Instead of using lemon slices, try drizzling freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fish and your choice of fresh or frozen vegetables; 2. Consider adding an extra spice or herb to the Old Bay and garlic salt seasoning to elevate the flavor, as it might otherwise be a bit bland. I plan on making this dish again and will include paprika next time. Tilapia is a wonderful fish that is versatile, affordable, and delicious. This recipe is a convenient way to incorporate more seafood into your diet with minimal effort. Additionally, it is a lean and healthy option.

The original recipe is great, but for our tastes, we prefer a more flavorful dish. Instead of using a casserole dish, I like to create foil or paper bag packets with 1-2 fillets per packet. To enhance the flavor, I drizzle each fillet with olive oil, add thin slices of onions, pickled jalapeno slices, and squeeze the juice of an additional half to one lemon. Seal the packet completely and cook. For a bolder onion taste, you can also add some chopped dehydrated onions, but be cautious as they are stronger than fresh onions. I usually pair this dish with a blend of couscous and quinoa, along with roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.

Sure, here is a rewritten version of your review: This dish turned out amazingly well! I made a few modifications for a family gathering and decided to bake the fish instead of frying it. Firstly, I melted a stick of butter with garlic and herbs from Publix in the microwave. Then, I added Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon juice without measuring, adjusting to taste. I also included paprika for a touch of color. After mixing everything with the melted butter, I coated the tilapia fillets in the mixture. Placing them in a sprayed 9x13" pan, I poured any remaining mixture on top before covering the pan with foil and baking at 375°F for approximately 26-30 minutes. It turned out so delicious that even my selective sister, who usually only eats flounder, asked for seconds. I served the fish alongside steamed veggies and rice, and there were leftovers of everything except the fish. I intend to make this recipe again and again; the marinade was exceptional. I can't help but wonder if this marinade would work well with other types of meat too?

Decent, but I plan to make some adjustments next time. I opted for foil and Pam in the pan instead of butter, and omitted the butter altogether. My plan is to include a hint of cayenne, a pinch of pepper, a touch of paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder in place of salt, and just a splash of lemon juice. I also intend to use fresh vegetables rather than partially thawed frozen ones. I'll keep the veggies separate from the fish or on the sides as having them on top slowed down the fish cooking. Going forward, I'll cover the dish and cook for 15-20 minutes, then add Parmesan and breadcrumbs, cooking for another 15-20 minutes without the cover.

Fantastic recipe! I didn't have any cauliflower on hand, so I substituted with frozen broccoli. I also decided to enhance the flavor by adding a few slices of lemon on top. The fish turned out tender and flaky, while the broccoli was perfectly cooked and had a hint of sweetness after just 30 minutes. I uncovered the dish for the last 5 minutes to give it a nice browned finish.

I followed the reviews and made some adjustments: I used 4 pieces of tilapia in a 9 by 13 pan and marinated the fish in Italian dressing before cooking. It took about 1 hour for the fish and frozen veggies to be done. I added all the Italian dressing with the fish and veggies, along with lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning before cooking. The dish turned out delicious, and I served the juices over rice.

Highly customizable recipe that is incredibly simple to prepare. I seasoned the fish filets with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, dried parsley, and garlic powder, then topped them with a pat of butter and a slice of lemon. I also added raw asparagus to the baking dish. In the final 10 minutes of baking (out of 25), I sprinkled breadcrumbs over the filets for a delightful crunch. Note: I opted for fresh veggies this time. I previously attempted using frozen veggies per the instructions, but the fish didn't cook evenly. Remember to defrost frozen veggies beforehand for best results.

This dish is a great option as a starter for any meal, especially with tilapia as the protein. I didn't have any frozen mixed vegetables on hand, so I decided to add a couple of sliced garlic cloves for extra flavor. I may have over seasoned a bit, as I tend to do, but you really can't go wrong with garlic and Old Bay seasoning on seafood. To complement the dish, I served a salad with a simple dressing of oil, vinegar, and oregano, making it a truly delicious meal.

I absolutely loved this recipe. I decided to use fresh vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes, and red pepper, but otherwise stuck to the original instructions. It was quick to make and incredibly delicious.

This recipe was quite enjoyable. I particularly liked the addition of riced cauliflower that I sautéed in the pan along with it. The cauliflower absorbed all the flavors well and turned out fluffy. However, the other frozen vegetables I baked with it took a considerably longer time to cook from frozen, so I had to remove them and transfer them to a separate pan for further baking.

Quick and easy with great taste.

Tilapia itself may not be very flavorful, but with some extra spices and baking the veggies separately, the dish turned out delicious. The addition of lemon really elevated the recipe. I am looking forward to making it again!

Terrible experience. The frozen vegetables were still uncooked after 25 minutes and released excessive water. It ended up taking around 40 minutes to cook, resulting in a soggy texture. I will not be trying this dish again.

The vegetables were undercooked, while the tilapia was overcooked.

This recipe was incredibly simple and delicious! Thank you, I will definitely be making it for a group soon!

I absolutely love this recipe for quick baked tilapia! It's so simple and delicious, and the trick with adding frozen veggies is genius. The fish turns out incredibly moist, and the flavors pair perfectly with the frozen veggies (I used Kirkland's frozen stir fry variety blend). I seasoned it with Old Bay, garlic powder, fresh lemon slices, and butter... and the result was absolutely yummy!

I enjoy cooking tilapia and am currently preparing to bake some for dinner. However, I struggle to believe that the juices from the tilapia would enhance the flavor of the vegetables. Additionally, I find it hard to believe that the tilapia would cook faster than the vegetables. As someone who cooks fish regularly, including tilapia, I find these reviews hard to trust.

I found this recipe to be incredibly easy to make and delicious. We absolutely loved it!

A breeze to make, a delight to taste! This tilapia recipe is the best I've tried so far. Simple and delicious - a definite winner.
