Tips & Tricks (5)
- Moisture Magic 💦Pat tilapia fillets completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure perfect crispy exterior and prevent steaming instead of baking.
- Citrus Layering 🍋Use both lemon zest and fresh lemon juice to create a multi-dimensional citrus flavor profile that penetrates the delicate fish.
- Butter Basting Technique 🧈Melt butter and mix with minced garlic before pouring over fish to create a rich, aromatic coating that prevents dryness.
- Herb Infusion Trick 🌿Crush dried Italian seasoning between your fingers before sprinkling to release essential oils and maximize flavor intensity.
- Perfect Baking Position 🥘Position fish fillets in a single layer on a slightly tilted baking sheet to allow excess moisture to run off, preventing soggy texture.
