Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Rinse 8 oz (250 g) of tilapia fillets with water and pat them dry using a paper towel.

Line the tilapia fillets on a 9×13-inch baking tray.

Pour the marinade evenly over the Tilapia fillets.

Arrange 3-4 slices of lemon over the fish.

Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is white, opaque, flaky and fork-tender.

Remove the tray from the oven and garnish the baked tilapia fish with pepper flakes, lemon slices, and chopped parsley (or cilantro), and serve hot.
