how long to bake tilapia at 375

The baking time for tilapia at 375°F (190°C) will depend on the thickness of the fish and the 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

It’s always a good idea to check the fish after the minimum recommended cooking time and then every minute or two until it reaches the desired level of doneness.

Here’s a basic recipe you can follow:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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 cooking time based on the thickness of your tilapia fillets and your personal preference for doneness.
