How to Make Herb Crusted Tilapia
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Mix well.
- In a shallow dish, pour 1 cup buttermilk. Add tilapia fillets (about 1 lb) and let marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
- Spread the herb mixture onto a large plate.
- Press each tilapia fillet firmly into the herb mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Carefully place the tilapia fillets in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a side of stone-ground grits (optional).
