Hot Orange Tilapia Recipe
This tilapia dish is really spicy and it is therefore a good idea to serve it with something cooling, such as mild tzatziki or some other type of fresh yoghurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Rub both sides of the tilapia fillets with olive oil and place in a baking dish.
- Combine chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in small bowl or jar and sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the fillets.
- Sprinkle orange zest on top and bake the fish in the preheated oven until the tilapia fillets can be easily flaked with a fork. (This will normally take around 15 minutes.)
