How to Make Tilapia For Company

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat 1.5 lbs tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  4. Place tilapia fillets in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the tilapia is baking, prepare your side dishes: cheese grits, sauteed yellow squash, and a green salad.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.
