For a richer flavor, try using a flavored mayonnaise, such as roasted garlic or lemon aioli, in the dill sauce. If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a pinch of Dijon mustard to the dill sauce. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the tilapia fillets. Check for doneness after 15 minutes and adjust accordingly. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or rice for a complete and healthy meal. For a crispy top, broil the tilapia for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
