Notes

• For best results, use fresh tilapia fillets.
• To easily remove the tilapia from the baking dish, run a thin spatula around the edges before inverting onto a serving platter.
• Storing: Leftover baked tilapia can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Baking Tip: Covering the baking dish loosely with foil during the first 10 minutes of baking can help retain moisture.
• Tools: A sharp knife and a baking dish are essential for this recipe.
