Fast and Easy Monday Night Meal - Lemon Pepper Baked Tilapia

You can never have too many lemons.

This dish is EXTREMELY fast and easy and great to serve in a pinch. I keep frozen tilapia on hand. I can easily pull the whole dish together in under 30 minutes. It has become one of my standard lazy Monday night meals. But despite the simplicity of the recipe, I must say that the dish turns out absolutely delicious. (No surprise that the main ingredients in this once again involve lemon)

Baked Lemon Pepper Tilapia

 Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Level: Easy

Ingredients 

-          4 Tilapia Filets

-          ½ cup olive oil

-          1 ½ TBLS lemon pepper seasoning

-          2 lemons

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning to create the marinade. Thinly slice one lemon. You’ll need 2 lemon slices per tilapia filet. Cut the remaining lemon in to wedges. Coat the tilapia in marinade and place in a glass casserole dish. Pour the remaining marinade evenly over the fillets. Place two slice of lemon on each fillet and squeeze the juice of approx two lemon wedges over the dish. Place the casserole dish and cook for 15 minutes. The fish should be white throughout when fully cooked. I like to serve this dish with dinner rolls and steamed broccoli.
