You can use frozen tilapia for this recipe, or any other whole fish for that matter. The fish should not smell “fishy” and the eyes should be clear. Make sure it is gutted and de-scaled. Rinse out the inside of the fish well. Cut lemon into slices and put inside cavity of fish. Add parsley and dill. Salt & pepper the skin and place on a greased pan. Bake at 350F until fish flakes easily, approximately 15 minutes.

The cooked fish. I added onion powder on top but I wouldn’t do that again, it interferes with the fresh taste of the natural flavours. To serve, pull off the head and carefully cut the top fillet away from the rib cage and backbone. When the top fillet is removed, peel off the backbone, ribs, and fins, then serve the bottom fillet. Serves 2.
