1 tbsp - Chili powder (see note at end)
1 tsp. - Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. - Paprika (mild)
1 Lime
1 tbsp - Olive Oil
1 lb. Tilapia fillets
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°
2. Squeeze juice from the lime into a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon
of olive oil. Add chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. (Amounts of
each spice can be adjusted to make the spiciness of the dish hotter or
milder.)
3. Place fish in a large flat casserole dish or roasting pan (or make
foil packets) sprayed with Pam or Olive Oil.
4. Spoon the Chili-Lime mixture over the filets and spread to coat
fairly evenly.
5. Cover dish with foil and place in oven for 10 minutes. Turn oven
to broil, remove foil and cook for 2-5 more minutes. Check often to be
sure the fish doesn't over cook or burn. Exact cooking time will depend
on the thickness of the fillets.
Serving suggestion - serve over whole grain wild rice with a side of
steamed spinach or roasted asparagus.
PLEASE NOTE: The tablespoon of chili powder mentioned in the recipe
is the bottled blend of spices used to make chili ... it is not straight
ground chili peppers. You may wish to adjust the amounts if using ground
chili peppers instead of the milder chili powder.
