Lemon Pepper Baked Tilapia

Ingredients:

• 4 tilapia fillets
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Lemon slices (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish that's been coated with non-stick spray or a light coating of olive oil. Sprinkle salt over the fillets as per your taste.
5. Pour the butter mixture over the tilapia fillets and make sure each fillet is fully coated. You can use a brush or spoon for an even coating.
6. If using lemon slices, place a few on top of each tilapia fillet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for around 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish is flaky and opaque.
8. Once done, remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite sides.

This recipe gives you flavorful and tender baked tilapia with a slightly tangy and zesty lemon and pepper seasoning. Enjoy!
