Fish is such a fast and super easy thing to fix. Often, when I fix tilapia I grill it on the George Foreman grill, but this time I decided to bake it. Three ingredients and about 20 minutes later I had dinner on the table.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Tilapia fillets
- Butter
- Creole or Cajun seasoning
Thaw the amount of fillets you need for your family. I thaw them for a while in a bowl of cool water. Place the fillets on a foil covered baking sheet. Pour the melted butter over them and sprinkle with the seasoning. Tony’s seasoning has a nice kick to it, so you might want to go lightly (or heavier if you like it hot). Bake at 400 degrees for about 17 minutes or until you can flake the fillets with a fork.

Very easy and delicious! I love tilapia but rarely buy it because I never know what to do with it. I think this recipe would be good with fresh fish like lake trout, whitefish, etc. Will definitely make again!
This was an amazing dish! I never would have tried tilapia at home if it hadn’t been for your grocery lists. I was too “scared” to cook fish. SO easy! I followed your directions for this and the fettucine and EVERYONE (even the picky eater) loved it! Thank you so much.
So simple but so good, thanks for the idea. My picky ten year old was all sorts of nervous to eat fish this way but once she tried it she loved it and proclaimed “IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN” she was so relieved that she actually liked it. I vote this the most family friendly fish recipe I have ever tried.
We have tilapia atleast twice a month. I bake mine in foil with a pat of butter, salt, lemon pepper seasoning, and fresh cracked pepper and then I serve it with a side of steamed broccoli. Yummy!
