Tilapia is probably the most popular farm-raised fish sold in grocery stores to be popular on the weeknight dinner table. It’s a versatile fish that is easy to prepare without a strong ‘fishy’ flavor. We like it because it’s affordable and the fillets are perfect for weeknight meals.

While you can prepare Tilapia in a plethora of different ways, our Lemon pepper-baked version is Low Carb. Its stock value for me goes up for being a delicious and desirable low-carb entree.

This meal is easily ready to eat in under 30 minutes. 

Two Ingredients

  • Tilapia
  • Lemon Pepper

We enjoy ours heavy on the Lemon Pepper which is why we use 1 Tablespoon per piece of fish. That is divided between the front and back of each piece of fish.  Feel free to use less. We won’t be offended.

Sides to serve with Baked Fish

While the Tilapia is low carb, the side dishes are your choice. There will be a few carbs in our side dishes. Ahem! Well, maybe at least one, the Homemade Mashed Potatoes have more than a few carbs so skip dessert when you enjoy those!

Our side dish with this particular meal is from the frozen food section of the grocery store. These were called Mexican Vegetables and they are a store brand. We also enjoy the California blend also frozen and ready in minutes.
