Oven Baked Tilapia

Our oven baked tilapia is a perfect addition to a meatless Monday meal, a Seven Fishes Christmas Eve dinner or any holy day that requires abstaining from meat. 

For our provencal recipe, simply combine the “Provençale” flavors of Herbes de Provence* along with artichokes, olives, capers, tomatoes, shallots and garlic with white wine and olive oil. Just pour over the tilapia and bake!

This easy seafood dinner is ready in just minutes! Honestly, it doesn’t gets much easier or more delicious than our baked tilapia recipe.

And it makes it’s own brothy sauce so you’ll want to be sure to serve this in bowls and don’t forget the crusty bread for dipping!

Change it up from time to time and serve with salmon or shrimp. See variations below and in recipe notes.

Any way you serve it, this easy seafood recipe gives dinner a southern French flavor that will make your taste buds sing!

  • Substitute dried Italian seasoning for the Herbes de Provence
