Baked Tilapia

Tilapia is an easy fish, you can bake it, grill it, broil it, or cook it in foil packs. You can bread it, encrust it, fry it, cover it in sauce or salsa, etc. There are so many different ways to make it. My favorite is baked. I know from the title of this dish, it doesn't sound too interesting, but I promise it's delicious. Plus it's easy, quick, and semi-healthy (well minus the butter). I don't measure anything for this dish, it's all by eye, so I guesstimated the measurements for you.
