Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

• 4 fresh tilapia fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly brushing it with a touch of olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped parsley, black pepper, and sea salt.
3. Pat the fresh tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush the herb and oil mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
5. Place the baking sheet under the broiler (about 4 inches from the heat source) and broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and shows a slight golden-brown char on the edges.
6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges and your favorite heart-healthy vegetable sides.
