Keep It Clean Tilapia Recipe

Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 tilapia filets, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine olive oil, garlic and seasonings.
- Dip each filet into the seasoning and place it on the baking sheet.
- Pour any remaining seasoning over the filets on the sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 10 -12 minutes until fish flakes easily.
*Note: unfortunately, I used foil instead of parchment paper the first time I made this. The fish stuck to the foil pretty badly, so I made sure that I used parchment paper this time…and had no problems at all.
*This is pretty spicy as directed…cut back on spices for less daring taste buds.

We have LOTS of speckled trout– would this recipe work with that?
Personally, I think it would – however I LOVE me some fried speckled trout! OMG – so good!
YES— we do to, just looking for something a little healthier:)))
Used some wild cod for this recipe and it turned out great……..watch out for that tilapia…..know where it comes from or you’ll be eating God knows what.
Oh sounds so good!!
