Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels before baking.
  • Season the fillets generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use a light hand when drizzling the fillets with olive oil. Too much oil will make the fish greasy.
  • Bake the fillets at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to keep the fish moist and flaky.
  • If you are using a convection oven, reduce the baking time by 25%.
