This recipe offers a delightful twist on baked tilapia, featuring a zesty lime and herb marinade that enhances the fish's natural flavors.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the fish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and olive oil.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Let the fish sit in the marinade for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender and moist.
Serve the baked tilapia with cooked quinoa on the side, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Add a wedge of lime on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
