Tilapia Tips
It’s a mild-tasting white fish that can be prepared in any number of ways in all sorts of styles and cuisine techniques. Here are a few tips that I think will help you as you bake it.
Use Fresh Or Frozen Tilapia
Fresh tilapia is best, but if you want a meal that you can make any time, try individually-wrapped frozen tilapia fillets.
The frozen fillets come in bulk and are easy to keep on-hand in the freezer. They also thaw very quickly so you can have dinner on the table in no time.
Keep Seasoning Basic
For this recipe, we’re going to show you just the very basic way to prepare a delicious tilapia fillet. This is a no-fail recipe that gives you lots of room for culinary creativity.
If you want to give it even more flavor, try adding some garlic powder and parsley. When it comes to fish like tilapia, it is best to let the taste of the fish be the most prominent thing.
Feel free to add herbs, spices, and flavors to your liking. For now, we’re just going to use a little salt and pepper and bake it right in the oven to perfection!

Tilapia needs to be baked until it reaches an internal temperature of 145F. Use an instant-read food thermometer to check it before you serve it.
