Time-Saving Tips and Variations
- Have your ingredients ready to go when preparing this meal.
- Substitute the vegetables for others like broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini, thinly sliced potatoes, onions, or green beans.
- Add minced garlic to the sheet pan.
- If you do not care for lemon pepper, you can omit the seasoning and lemons and use an Italian seasoning.
- If you don’t have dried lemon pepper seasoning, you can substitute it with a combination of lemon zest and black pepper.
- For a crispy tilapia skin, broil the fish for the last minute or two of cooking. Just keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

This recipe contains all my favorite things. Perfect for our next Fish Friday meal….I think I will make it on the gas grill for the summer.
It will be delicious on the grill!
What a beautiful simple TASTY meal, Lisa! Tilapia is one of those items I keep in the freezer for quick meals since it thaws and cooks so quickly. Your one pan recipe just made that even easier!
I love the convenience of sheet pan meals! We used to have tilapia often but it’s been so long; this sounds wonderful.
How easy, delicious, and nutritious. I’d feel very virtuous having this for dinner!
A delicious and easy sheet pan meal..yum!
Love sheet pan meals, I’m all about easy clean up so I can spend more time outside!
I just adore a good fish sheet pan dinner, especially during the summer. Quick, easy, and you can add just about any pasta or potato salad alongside it!
Being a vegetarian, have no idea where to start making fish for hubby who has to add more protein to his diet, your lemon pepper tilapia seems like the right place to start. Easy and with tips am sure it will turn out good.
