A delicious and healthy Greek-style baked tilapia recipe topped with Mediterranean salsa.
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp dill chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the tilapia fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- While the tilapia is marinating, prepare the Mediterranean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and red wine vinegar. Mix well to combine.
- Once the tilapia has marinated, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the baked tilapia topped with the Mediterranean salsa. Enjoy!

This was delicious! The fish turned out so flaky and the salsa was fresh. Definitely making this again!
Total failure! I overcooked the fish and it was like rubber. Anyone got tips?
How do you bake fish? Isn’t it better to fry it? But I tried this and it wasn’t too bad!
This is sooo good! The salsa adds the perfect touch. Definitely a keeper!
Totally agree! The salsa is what makes it pop! I also added some feta cheese on top. Yum!
Yum! Simple and easy. I added some feta cheese on top for extra flavor! 😋
Yay fish! I don’t like the olives tho. But recipe easy to follow. Thanks!
Nice and healthy. I used tilapia’s cousin, the flounder, because that’s what I had. Good!
I don’t know why you need olives in everything, it’s too salty! Next time, I’m leaving them out.
I tried to make this, but the tilapia turned out dry. Maybe I cooked it too long? The salsa was delicious though.
Dry tilapia? Isn’t it always dry? I never liked fish anyway, I prefer chicken. But hey, salsa sounds good!
It’s easy to overcook fish! Maybe try checking it a few minutes earlier next time. Glad you liked the salsa!
Okay but how is fish baked in a 400F oven supposed to be healthy? Seems fishy lol
Greek style? This is just tilapia! Where’s the feta or something? I don’t know if it even tastes good without it.
