Greek-style Baked Tilapia with Feta and Tomatoes
Tips for Experienced Cooks
Experiment with different types of citrus in the marinade to find your favorite flavor profile, such as substituting lemon juice with lime or orange juice. Additionally, consider incorporating capers or olives into the baking dish for a Mediterranean twist. Don't be afraid to play with the herb mix as well, adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme towards the end of baking to elevate the flavor profile.
