Flavourful fish that's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1 tbsp
Paprika, smoked
1 tsp
Cumin
1 tsp, ground
Thyme, dried
1 tsp
Oregano, dried
1/4 tsp
Cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp
Garlic powder
1/4 tsp
Salt
1 dash
Black pepper
4 fillet
Tilapia
1 tbsp
Extra virgin olive oil
(or butter)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cumin, thyme, oregano, cayenne, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Liberally coat both sides of each tilapia filet with spices. The moisture from the filet will help the spices adhere. If the fish is very wet, pat it dry with a paper towel before beginning, so that it is damp.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add two of the fish fillets at a time and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the spices have turned a deep burgundy color and the fish is cooked through. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more olive oil before beginning, if needed.
Serve hot with your favourite side (e.g. rice, cauliflower rice, baked sweet potatoes, quinoa, salad, etc.).
Notes:
Safety
Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the filets.
Never eat seafood that is raw, or not cooked through. The internal temperature of fish should be 158F or 70C degrees.
Nutritional Highlights
Tilapia is a good source of protein, B12, selenium, and potassium.
