Recipe View While the fish is baking, prepare the dill sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Recipe View Once the tilapia is cooked, gently remove it from the baking dish. Serve immediately, drizzled generously with the dill sauce. Garnish with extra fresh dill sprigs, if desired.

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.

    A simple, tasty meal. I usually serve it with a side of steamed vegetables.

  • Darron Rath

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Cajun seasoning for a little extra heat.

  • Greg Runolfssonpowlowski

    I didn't have fresh dill, so I used dried dill. It wasn't quite the same, but still good.

  • Dorcas Rowe

    This recipe is so easy and delicious! The dill sauce is amazing.

  • Logan Rempel

    I've made this several times and it's always a hit. I sometimes grill the lemon slices for a smoky flavor.

  • Adonis Kessler

    The cooking time was spot on! I used thinner fillets and they were perfectly cooked in 17 minutes.

  • Kobe Nader

    My family loved this! I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it was still great.

  • Aiyana Kassulke

    Be careful not to overbake the tilapia, or it will be dry.

  • Adeline Mraz

    The lemon slices really add a nice flavor to the fish.
