Low Fat Baked Greek Tilapia

Naturally low fat, tilapia is a wonderfully mild, meaty, inexpensive fish that lends itself to all kinds of flavors. Serve this Greek-style dish with steamed vegetables and either couscous or rice--whole grain, of course.

Cook Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 Tilapia fillets
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of 1 large lemon
