Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

   Pat tilapia fillets completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange in the baking dish in a single layer.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 60-90 seconds, without browning.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.

5. 5

   Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce evenly over the tilapia fillets.

6. 6

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.

7. 7

   Remove from oven, spoon pan sauce over the fillets, garnish with more fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
