Baked Tilapia in Garlic and Olive Oil

Baked Tilapia in Garlic and Olive Oil

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
4 cloves crushed garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Rub the fish fillets with the crushed garlic, then place them in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Spoon the olive oil over the fish until they are coated. Place the onion on top of the fish. Cover the fish and refrigerate overnight to allow the fish to soak in the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350. If baking the fish, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish along with the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sprinkle the fish with the cayenne or white pepper. If you are grilling the fish, wrap the fish and oil, garlic, onion, and pepper in aluminum foil.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
