I don't really love tilapia, but I love it like this!! Also goes well on swai, shrimp, or other plain white fish.
Ingredients:
4 filets Tilapia (about 1.25-1.5 pounds)
3 Tbsp coconut oil or other oil for sautéing
3-5 cloves fresh garlic, crushed and minced
Zest of 1 lime (then slice into quarters and serve with the fish)
2 t salt
1 t black pepper
1 t paprika
1 t dried parsley
1/2 t thyme (dried or ground)
1/2 t onion powder or garlic powder
Shake or two cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
Instructions:
1. Mix zest and spices together in small bowl. You may not need it all.
2. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a nonstick or iron skillet over medium high heat.
3. Coat filets in other Tbsp oil and sprinkle one side with spice mix.
4. Sauté half the garlic for one minute, then add fish, spice side down. Cook about 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. When first side is cooking coat second side with oil, then cover with the rest of the garlic and sprinkle with spice mix. Flip once and cook until done, usually about ten minutes total.
5. Squeeze lime quarter over fish just before serving.
