Baked Tilapia with Rosemary and Lemon

Baked Tilapia with Rosemary and Lemon

Baked tilapia with rosemary and lemon is a twenty-five-minute dinner built around one of the most widely available fish at any grocery store. Rub the fillets with Biancolilla N°07, rosemary, and lemon zest before baking, the oil's own rosemary note does the seasoning for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 3 tablespoons Biancolilla N°07
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them on the prepared sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine Biancolilla N°07, chopped rosemary, and lemon zest, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each fillet.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, checking at the earlier mark since tilapia cooks quickly, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when pressed with a fork.
  6. Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges and a final drizzle of Biancolilla N°07.
