Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Rinse 4 tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Place the tilapia fillets in the baking dish.

Using a lemon reamer or fork, squeeze the juice from 1 lemon into a bowl with a strainer to remove any seeds, yielding about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Pour the lemon juice over the tilapia fillets.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pan or in the microwave and pour it over the fillets.

Chop 1 clove of garlic (or use frozen garlic cubes) and spread it evenly over the tilapia.

Sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes and ground pepper to taste.

Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven until the fish is white and flakes when pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes.
