Garlicky Lemon Baked Tilapia

Baked tilapia could also be a weeknight dinner dream. The fish, which features a really mild fish taste, could also be an honest thanks to urging those non-fish eaters to love it. It cooks quickly and takes on flavors well. We cooked ours in many butter, lemon, and garlic to make it bright and fresh, and easy to love. Baking it requires little or no effort with zero risks of the fish sticking to your skillet or grill. A win! Try our baked salmon next!
