This may sound difficult, but it's really easy and looks very elegant when finished. So gather the ingredients and let's cook!
- 1 Tbl. Chili Powder
- 1 tsp. Chipoltle Chili Powder
- 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tbl. Olive Oil
- 4 Tilapia filets
Mix the powders and olive oil into the lime juice.
Taste and add more spices if necessary.
Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Place the filets in the baking dish and spoon the chili lime oil all over the filets. At the last minute, I added in some dried cilantro--people either love it or hate it, so use your own discretion. I think it adds nice color and flavor!
Cover the baking dish with foil and place in a 400 degree pre-heated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the cover and broil at 500 degrees for another 2 - 5 minutes. Watch closely so the fish doesn't burn.
It should flake nicely when done.
Oh my, flaky yummy goodness!
Along with the Talapia, we had a creamy coleslaw and green peas. Yes those are from a can my friends, but hey, we like peas plus that I was out of the frozen ones!
This dinner comes together in about 30 minutes, seriously!
Rachel Ray ain't got nuthin' on me.
Enjoy friends!
