Baked tilapia seasoned with Cajun and citrus served with a creamy sauce of fresh dill and lemon.
Ingredients We need:
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
1 lemon, thinly sliced
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Follow these steps to make your dish
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2
Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning on both sides. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Place a layer of lemon slices over the fish fillets. I usually use about 2 slices on each piece so that it covers most of the surface of the fish.
Step 3
Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the fish is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Serve with tilapia.
