Cod is a lean fish, while pollock is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Season the tilapia fillets with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Zest half a lemon and juice it, which yields about a tablespoon of lemon juice.

Slice the remaining half of the lemon into three slices.

In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of white wine.

Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the tilapia fillets in a 9x13 baking dish.

Add capers over the tilapia fillets.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 11-15 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 145°F.

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
