how long to bake tilapia at 400
The baking time for tilapia at 400°F (200°C) will depend on the thickness of the fish and your desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:
* Thin tilapia fillets (less than 1 inch thick): 8-12 minutes
* Medium-thick tilapia fillets (1-1.5 inches thick): 12-15 minutes
* Thick tilapia fillets (1.5-2 inches thick): 15-18 minutes
It’s also important to check the internal temperature of the fish to ensure it reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
You can also use the following signs to check if the tilapia is cooked:
* Flakes easily with a fork
* Opaque and firm to the touch
* No longer translucent or raw-looking
To bake tilapia at 400°F (200°C), follow these steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
3. Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and your desired seasonings.
5. Bake for the recommended time, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remember to adjust the baking time based on the thickness of your tilapia fillets and your oven’s performance.
