Easy Tilapia with Cajun Spices
October 19, 2005, 11:00 pm
Approximately 1 lb tilapia filets (about 4 thick filet pieces)
1 1/2 tsp Oregano
3 tsp Chili powder
3/8 tsp Cayenne pepper powder
3/4 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Butter
5 Tbsp Lemon juice
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Prepare a 9" x 13" glass baking dish by spraying the sides with non-stick cooking spray (I used PAM).
Measure out spices & salt, then mix them together. Set aside.
Melt butter with lemon juice in prepared baking dish (in microwave) or melt on top of stove and pour into baking dish.
Pat fish filets dry. Dip each filet into the butter lemon mixture, then sprinkle with the spices and rub the spices onto the fish's surface (although it's messy, it seemed like using my hand was the best tool for the job), flip over the filet and repeat the process on the other side. Use the same method for the remaining fish.
Bake at 450 degrees F about 15 minutes or until the fish flakes (and appears opaque). 15 minutes has been about right.
