This light and flaky fish is often seasoned with a blend of zesty lemon, aromatic herbs like parsley and thyme, and a hint of garlic. Renowned chefs in coastal towns like Santorini and Amalfi have perfected this recipe, infusing it with the essence of the sea. The key to a perfect Lemon Herb Tilapia lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the delicate balance of flavors.
