Baked Tilapia Fillets with Lemon Tarragon Sauce
The lemon tarragon sauce gives this mild tasting fish a lovely French flair. It's a fresh flavor that pairs beautifully with steamed veggies or a fresh green salad.
Ingredients
- 2 tilapia fillets
- 1/2 medium onion thinly sliced
- 1 lemon cut in thin slices
- 2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small can sliced mushrooms
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Spread olive oil evenly over the bottom of the dish so the fish doesn't stick.
- Place the tilapia fillets in the dish skin side down. With a fork, poke several holes in the fillets and then pour 1 Tablespoon on lemon juice evenly over each one.
- Sprinkle with salt & pepper, and 1 tsp of dried tarragon over each fillet.
- Now put the sliced onion over the fish and top with the mushrooms.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, put the lemon slices on top of the mushrooms and return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes.
- The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. If your fillets are thick they may need a little more time.
- To serve, spoon the sauce over the fillets on the plate and garnish with extra lemon slices
