I’ve been wanting to try a foil-baked fish recipe for a while now. To be honest, I was mostly intrigued by the easy clean up factor!
I purchased two tilapia filets at the store this past weekend, & my recipe for foil-baked tilapia was born!
Foil-Baked Tilapia
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 2 tilapia filets
- Cooking spray or olive oil
- Lemon juice (save a few lemon slices for baking!)
- Parsley
- Garlic salt
- Pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400*.
- Place each tilapia filet on a sheet of foil.
- Spray with cooking spray (or drizzle with olive oil).
- Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Sprinkle a combination of parsley, garlic powder, & black pepper on top.
- Finally, top with a slice of lemon.
- Close the foil packet completely & bake for 15-20 minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this turned out! I like fish, but I hate when it comes out very oily, or “overly fishy” tasting. This was neither!
I served the tilapia alongside whole grain rice & steamed broccoli.

For the Sake of Cake 
I’d heard about cooking salmon like this on another blog and was going to try it next week! Glad it worked out! And yes, gotta love the easy clean up
It turned out awesome! I was a little worried it would be over/under cooked, but it was perfect!
I made salmon in a foil packet a few weeks ago and was mostly impressed by the easy clean up as well. You really cant beat it 😉
Definitely not! I hate having a TON of dishes after cooking!
