How to Make Baked Tilapia With Dill Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  3. Season 4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each) with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning on both sides.
  4. Arrange the seasoned tilapia fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Place 1 thinly sliced lemon (about 1/4 of a lemon) over the fish fillets.
  6. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While the fish bakes, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons fresh dill in a small bowl.
  8. Once the tilapia is cooked, spoon the dill sauce generously over the fillets.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
